At this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, FP’s Ravi Agrawal sat down with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. 

The two discussed the shipping crisis in the Red Sea, its impact on supply chains and global trade, and Mitsotakis’s concern that the conflict might escalate. He talked about the death toll in Gaza and observed that the European Union is having trouble finding a balance between support for Israel and calls for it to show restraint in responding to Hamas’s attack.

The conversation also covered Russia’s war in Ukraine and how Greece has responded to that, as well as Greece’s relationship with Turkey, the rise of artificial intelligence and its threat to elections, and what lessons Mitsotakis’s center-right government can offer the world.
