ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣ ΠΛΑΚΙΩΤΑΚΗΣ:Α' Αντιπρόεδρος της Βουλής των Ελλήνων, πρώην ΥΝΑΝΠ, Βουλευτής Λασιθίου, πρώην Πρόεδρος Ν.Δ.

 

Με ιδιαίτερη χαρά υποδέχθηκα στο Ηράκλειο τον Πρωθυπουργό, Κυριάκο Μητσοτάκη, στο πλαίσιο της διήμερης περιοδείας που πραγματοποιεί στην Κρήτη ενόψει των ευρωεκλογών της 9ης Ιουνίου.

Πρώτος σταθμός του ήταν το Λιμάνι Ηρακλείου ο Πρωθυπουργός αναγνώρισε πως η διαδικασία παραχώρησης και εκσυγχρονισμού του Οργανισμού Λιμένος Ηρακλείου προκειμένου να ανταποκρίνεται στις αυξημένες εμπορικές, διαμετακομιστικές και τουριστικές ανάγκες ξεκίνησε και ολοκληρώθηκε την περίοδο 2019 - 2023 επι θητείας

μου στο Υπουργείο Ναυτιλίας.

Η Κρήτη σήμερα δεν έχει σχέση με το 2019. Τα τελευταία 5 χρόνια με πράξεις και έργα, υλοποιώντας τις δεσμεύσεις μας, βάλαμε μπρος τα μεγάλα έργα που έχει ανάγκη ο τόπος μας. Το νέο αεροδρόμιο στο Καστέλι θα είναι έτοιμο το 2027 όπως και ο Βόρειος Οδικός Άξονας έχει πια εξασφαλισμένη χρηματοδότηση και προχωρά με ταχύτητα. Μεγάλα αρδευτικά έργα ολοκληρώνονται και δρομολογούνται σε όλη την Κρήτη ενώ η ηλεκτρική διασύνδεση της Κρήτης με την ηπειρωτική Ελλάδα ολοκληρώνεται και αυτή. Έχουμε ακόμα να κάνουμε πολλά γι αυτό η Ελλάδα, η ΝΔ, όλοι μας πρέπει να είμαστε ισχυροί την επόμενη της 9ης Ιουνίου ώστε να συνεχίσουμε στον δρόμο της συλλογικής και ατομικής προκοπής

 Prime Minister to travel to Europe to attend G7 Summit and the Summit on Peace in Ukraine

May 29, 2024
Ottawa, Ontario

Working together with like-minded partners, we can make the world fairer and more prosperous. While the challenges facing Canada are real and rapidly evolving – we’re not alone. These are shared challenges that require shared solutions. Co-operation with international partners, in the G7 and well beyond, is how we build a better future with security, opportunity, and meaningful progress. 

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced he will travel to Apulia, Italy, from June 13 to 15, 2024, to attend the G7 Summit, before travelling to Lucerne, Switzerland, from June 15 to 16, 2024, to participate in the Summit on Peace in Ukraine.

At the G7 Summit, the Prime Minister will strengthen collaboration to address the most pressing global challenges. He will highlight the importance of defending democracy and democratic values, including by countering foreign interference and mis and disinformation. He will promote fair, inclusive, and dynamic growth anchored in the global energy and digital transitions. This includes the clean energy transition to create jobs, grow the economy and keep the air clean, while ensuring strong labour standards, and respecting the rights of Indigenous Peoples. It also includes promoting the responsible development and deployment of artificial intelligence.  

The Prime Minister will discuss ongoing G7 efforts to address geopolitical challenges, including the crisis in the Middle East and support for Ukraine in the face of Russia’s ongoing war with a view to achieving just and lasting peace. The Prime Minister will take part in bilateral meetings with leaders from other countries and deepen partnerships on shared priorities. Ahead of Canada hosting the G7 in 2025, the Prime Minister will share our government’s work to create good-paying jobs, grow an inclusive and dynamic economy, and deliver fairness for every generation. 

In Switzerland, at the Summit on Peace in Ukraine, the Prime Minister will reaffirm Canada’s support for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s continued efforts toward a just and sustainable peace. This includes Canada’s co-leadership of the International Coalition for the Return of Ukrainian Children, as well as its co-chairing of the Peace Formula Working Group Four on the return of prisoners of war, unlawfully detained civilians and illegally deported children. The Summit will provide a platform for dialogue among nations from different regions of the world on ways to achieve a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine.
