in developments in the East Mediterranean as \u201cvery important\u201d, while expressing confidence that a regional partnership involving Greece, France, Cyprus and Lebanon will continue as \u201cour interests in the wider region fully align.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very important that France is actively engaged in developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and that the strategic relationship \u2013 deeply rooted in history \u2013 between France and Lebanon now also includes Cyprus and Greece, two countries that serve as pillars of stability in the East Mediterranean,\u201d Mitsotakis said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Greek leader commented following a meeting in Paris on Friday with the presidents of France, Cyprus and Lebanon \u2013 Emmanuel Macron, Nikos Christodoulides and Joseph Aoun, respectively \u2013 as well as, via video conference, Syrian interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Discussions at the Elysee Palace meeting focused on current developments in the East Mediterranean and the Middle East, with particular emphasis on security, migration, interconnectivity, and energy issues.<\/p>\n<p>A support plan for Lebanon and its new government was included on the agenda, the Greek prime minister said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA stable Lebanon serves as a barrier to refugee flows into Europe and can play a stabilizing rather than a destabilizing role in the broader Middle East,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n
