In the context of recent government decisions and following the information we received that there is a Greek citizen stranded in Afghanistan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Nikos Dendias gave the relevant instructions to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our Embassy in Islamabad, so that the operation for his safe evacuation could proceed. This has indeed been done. The citizen was transferred safely, under particularly difficult conditions, from Kabul to Islamabad. There, people from the Embassy were waiting for him and stayed with him all the time until he boarded the plane that transported him to Athens. I would like to tell you that we are particularly happy with the successful completion of this operation. We would like to thank allies and partners who assisted us, as well as his family, who were cooperative and most helpful to us over the recent period.
