Greek Foreign Ministry spokesman Grigoris Delavekouras on Wednesday announced that over 50 countries have confirmed that they will be represented in two ministerial level meetings to be held on the Greek Island of Corfu later this month.

The two high-level meetings are the NATO-Russia Council (NRC) meeting on June 27 and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) ministerial meeting on European security on June 28.
Speaking to members of the diplomatic press, Delavekouras pointed out that the high-level meetings were a success for the Greek Chair of the OSCE, which had from the very beginning expressed its desire to bring all those playing a key role in European security around the same table.
He said participants include all EU and NATO member states and Russia. Also among those attending will be the secretaries-general of NATO and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), as well as EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and EU Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner, responsible for External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy.
"Greece, through OSCE Chairperson Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis, had expressed the will from the beginning to have the countries playing a key role in the issue of security seated around the same table on equal terms to hold a real discussion on European security," he stressed.
Delavekouras also underlined that the Greek Chair has moved ahead with the meeting, while the participation of all the parties involved constitutes a success. "This summit lays the foundations of a lengthy dialogue," he noted.
