Prime Minister Visits Three African Countries and Greece:
Greece

Having completed his visit to three African countries, Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori arrived in Athens, the capital of the Hellenic Republic (Greece), on January 13. In 1999 Japan and Greece commemorated the hundredth anniversary of diplomatic relations, Commerce, and Navigation, but this was the first time a prime minister of Japan visited Greece. In talks between Prime Minister Mori and Prime Minister Konstandinos Simitis of Greece, the two leaders exchanged views on a wide range of subjects including the bilateral relationship, the reform of the United Nations, and the situation in the Balkans and elsewhere.
