<p>Greece and Turkey are close friends and allies to the UK and we are pleased to
see continued high-level contact between the two countries, including Prime Minister
Mitsotakis and President Erdoğan's meeting on 12 July, and commitment to hold a bilateral
High-Level Cooperation Council in Thessaloniki in the Autumn. We hope this engagement
can pave the way towards a long term reduction in tensions. We encourage both countries
to resolve issues through dialogue and we support de-confliction measures aimed at
de-escalation and reduction of tensions, including existing deconfliction mechanisms
within NATO structures. The UK will continue to work with all parties in support of
this.</p>
