Prime Minister and Socialist International President George Papandreou, concluding the sessions of the Socialist International's conference and summing up its positive conclusions, as it was stressed, after it ended in the city of Agios Nikolaos on the island of Crete at noon on Saturday, said that Crete is a neighbourhood having bonds with the Arab world.
Papandreou further referred to the role of the Arab Spring and to the role of Crete in the development of the countries of North Africa and the Middle East.
"Crete wants to play a considerable role. It has historic bonds with the Arab world and wants to widen and strengthen them," the prime minister said, adding that lately and for various reasons they slackened but now the Cretans desire and want to strengthen them.
Focusing on the transitional period of these countries, the prime minister called on all who participated in the important, as it was characterised by all the participants, conference in Crete to create institutions that will secure the permanent transition to democracy.
In parallel, Papandreou reassured them that they will have the support of the Pasok party and of the Greek government in the struggle they have before them.
