Clinton welcomes Greek FM

   Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis met at the State Department on Wednesday with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    Welcoming Bakoyannis at their first meeting for talks, Clinton said: "I am very glad welcoming a friend in Washington and at the State Department. She is not a stranger neither to the city nor to the Department. It is an honour for me to welcome you here in my new capacity."

    On her part, Bakoyannis thanked Clinton and expressed her joy "being in Washington again and looking forward to our cooperation."

    Bakoyannis will address the UN's Security Council on Friday afternoon (Greek time) and she is expected to refer to the 2009 Greek chair of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE) priorities.

    Before her speech, the Greek foreign minister is expected to meet Security Council President, Japan's UN Ambassador Yukio Takasu.

    On Thursday night (Greek time) Bakoyannis will be meeting with Matthew Nimetz, the UNSG's special mediator on the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's (FyRoM) name dispute, before holding talks with U.S. UN Ambassador Susan Rice.
