SECRETARY RUBIO: For twenty-five centuries since, the Parthenon has stood. Empires have risen and fallen beneath its shadow.
And the progeny of the men who built it – the sons of Athens and Rome – have carried their civilization with them to the ends of the Earth.
Two and a half centuries after the founding of the American republic halfway across the world from where I stand now, I stand here today – as the Secretary of State of that republic, and as the great-grandson of settlers who arrived in the new world from Spain – I stand here to testify to a debt that no lapse of time, no distance of space, can ever extinguish.
Welcome to Athens, @SecRubio! 🇺🇸🇬🇷
It is an honor to welcome Secretary of State Marco Rubio to Greece as he leads the U.S. delegation for the Sixth U.S.-Greece Strategic Dialogue. His visit underscores the strength of our alliance and our shared commitment to advancing @POTUS’s priorities, including defense cooperation, trade and investment, and energy cooperation.
The U.S.-Greece partnership has never been stronger, and together we are building an even more secure and prosperous future for both our nations and the region.
I had a fantastic first meeting with @PrimeMinisterGR Kyriakos Mitsotakis today. Under @POTUS's leadership, America is focused on results – building alliances that strengthen our security, expand opportunity, and promote prosperity. Greece is a country that leads with courage and conviction and is a vital partner in that effort. I can't wait to see what the future holds for our two nations.
