Engaging regularly with key stakeholders on ease of doing business in the two countries
About the Council
India and Greece have shared long standing, close economic ties, bound by common synergies, mutual respect, and close people-to-people contacts. The two countries established modern diplomatic relations during the 1950s, which received an impetus with India initiating a resident Embassy in Athens in March 1978. Since then, the India-Greece relationship has grown manifold, with several bilateral agreements in place between the two sides, across wide-ranging sectors.
