Press statements by Mr. N. Kotzias, Minister of Foreign Affairs, following his meeting with his Latvian counterpart, Mr. Edgars Rinkēvičs (Riga, 06.09.2017)
N. KOTZIAS: Thank you, Edgars. Today, we found out that our opinions are closer than our two countries are on the map. We are much closer and we do share very common interests. We are two NATO and European Union member states which lie at the borders. We have a common interest in securing the borders of the European Union and in developing its security and defense policies. Secondly, we are part of this group of NATO and EU medium-size countries. We share a common interest on the future of the Union and we need to keep the latter’s institutional system working. We also discussed, as Edgars already said, on ways to enhance our bilateral cooperation in many political fields; fields of our immediate and wider neighborhoods, such as in the Western Balkans, the Middle East, the Eastern Partnership area. We also discussed Brexit. None of us is happy with Brexit, but we now have to think on the problems that this might bring about, especially on the questions of budget, the rights of the people working in the UK and so on. We discussed cooperation on cyber-security and I believe that, on this subject, we will foster a closer cooperation in the future. We have invited the Prime Minister of Latvia to Greece. I had a meeting with him two hours ago. We also invited the President and the Vice-President of the Parliament to Greece. And, for sure, Edgars is always welcome to Greece. We discussed ways for closer cooperation between the countries in the Balkans and the Baltic, the Mediterranean countries and the Nordic countries. I think that we have identified many common interests and possibilities for many common projects for the future. I am very thankful for the hospitality of the Latvian government and for the good, productive discussion that we had with Edgars. We will meet again tomorrow. JOURNALIST: There is a common desire from both countries to strengthen their relations. Could you tell us which are the most promising fields for this cooperation to move forward? N. KOTZIAS: First, we discussed ways to enhance the cooperation between our two ministries. We both find that, whenever the Ministers of Foreign Affairs discuss about cooperation, their first thoughts go to cooperation in other fields, than in the fields of their own Ministries. We found fields where Latvia has much more experience and knowledge and fields where we have to share our experience, such as the Middle East, the Balkans and specifically the Western Balkans, the question of the Eastern Partnership and so on. We agreed on a program of meetings between our Political Directors and Departmental Directors, as Edgars already said. Second, we discussed ways of cooperation in other very important fields, such as cultural cooperation, cooperation between universities, research and educational cooperation, economic cooperation. We also had a long discussion about energy and transport. From my part, I was impressed by the variety of common interests we identified and the possibilities for cooperation that lie ahead. JOURNALIST: Are you happy with the current levels of response and support that countries like Latvia and other countries in the northern Europe are giving to Greece with regard to migrant and refugee flows, or could they do more to help you out? N. KOTZIAS: I am happy with the support of Latvia. I am not happy with everybody.

The US ranks nearly last in a list of rich countries that improve lives in the developing world - here's the full ranking
[Denmark Danish flag fan]Denmark ranks as the highest-performing wealthy country in a ranking of nations that improve lives in the developing world, according to this year's Commitment to Development Index. The US placed 23rd out of 27 countries. Created by the Center for Global Development, the CDI ranks the 27 richest countries in terms of aid, finance, technology, environment, trade, security, and migration — specifically in terms of how they help poorer countries. Sweden, Finland, France, and Germany rounded out the top five. "In our integrated world, decisions made by rich countries about their own policies and behavior have repercussions for people in developing nations," the report read. "The [CDI] celebrates countries whose policies benefit not only themselves, but also the development of others, and promote our common good." Beyond just airlifting supplies during a disaster, the CDI rewards countries based on their financial investments, policies and actions fighting climate change, trade deals, and warmth toward refugees, among other considerations . Denmark won top honors for its first-place rank in security and aid, in addition to placing highly across the other five metrics. Sweden and Finland, two other Scandinavian nations, also placed highly in most categories. The report noted Denmark still had "room for improvement," however. "Even though it takes a large share of international refugees, Denmark accepts the lowest proportion of students from developing countries of all countries assessed," the report read. Notably, the US placed below all of the Central European Visegrád countries, which include Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, "whose income per head is less than half that in the United States." The US lagged in scores related to finance, environment, and aid. Despite a global agreement that countries would devote 0.7% of their national income to environmental efforts, the US commits just 0.18%, the report found. HERE IS THE FULL RANKING: 1. Denmark 2. Sweden 3. Finland 4. France 5. Germany 6. Portugal 7. Netherlands 8. United Kingdom 9. Norway 10. New Zealand 11. Austria 12. Spain 13. Luxembourg 14. Italy 15. Belgium 16. Ireland 17. Canada 18.
