[01] Public Order Minister Kikilias visits the United States
ANA/MPA--Public Order and Citizen Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias
on Sunday evening arrived in Washington where he will have a series of
meetings with US government officials and the heads of the US Security
and Intelligence Departments.
"My visit to the United States and my scheduled meetings with the heads
of the DNI (Office of the Director of National Intelligence), the CIA
(Central Intelligence Agency) and FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation)
as well as officials from the White House and the State Department is a
good opportunity for a comprehensive approach to security issues which
have now become more international," Kikilias said after his arrival
in Washington.
Kikilias also said the "security of our society is under increasingly
serious threats in terms of scale and their degree of specialization. Many
of the challenges we are facing today in the field of security are
transnational and cross-sectoral. No country is able to deal with these
threats by itself and this is where the value of cooperation between
states and their services is based."
Kikilias on Monday will visit the CIA headquarters and will meet with
the heads of the Department. He will then visit the DNI offices and will
meet with Lieutenant General James R. Clapper.
In the afternoon, he will meet with representatives of expatriates'
organizations at the Greek embassy.
