An extraordinary virtual meeting of the EU Foreign Ministers had preceded it, where the Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Nikos Dendias, gave special emphasis on the risk of increasing immigration flows while underlining the need to protect the EU external borders and avoid a new humanitarian crisis.
In fact, he stressed the need for a unified and coordinated approach to the issue of immigration and pointed out that it should be made clear to third countries, such as Turkey, that the instrumentalization of this issue will not be allowed.
I participated in the extraordinary videoconference of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the European Union, with the developments in Afghanistan being the only item on the agenda. I placed particular emphasis on the risk of increased migration flows. #EU #FAC

The meeting assessed the situation and the emerging new landscape on the international stage. Course of action on the need to protect borders and avoid a new humanitarian crisis was discussed at European, bilateral and national levels.
