Israeli Foreign minister to visit Athens

Israeli Foreign Minister Avigor Lieberman will pay a two-day visit to Athens in response to the visit made to Israel last October by his Greek counterpart Dimitris Droutsas. 
 
 The two ministers will meet at 13:30 on Wednesday and are expected to reassess bilateral cooperation, as a continuation of the agreement they had signed for the deregulation of charter flights and the agreement on cooperation and exchanges between the two countries' diplomatic academies. 
 
 The Israeli official is also expected to discuss energy cooperation issues, as well as regional issues, with Iran and the Middle East issue as the focus, in his contacts with President Karolos Papoulias, Prime Minister George Papandreou and Defence Minister Evangelos Venizelos.
