Fragogiannis will be accompanied by the special envoy for the support of Greece’s candidacy for its election to the UN Security Council as non-permanent member for the period 2025-2026, Ambassador Maria Theofili.
The aim is to meet with representatives of the LDC countries that will take part in the conference to promote the Greek candidacy.
