Strengthen cooperation with Greece
The objectives of the programmes are to contribute to social and economic development in Greece and strengthen the cooperation between Greece and Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Civil Society is the area that receives most funding after Innovation and business development, and migration and asylum.- Greece is still the first destination for many migrants and refugees who are trying to reach Europe. European countries share a responsibility to find good solutions to this situation. It is therefore both important and right for Norway to continue its cooperation with Greece to deal with one of the greatest challenges Europe is currently facing, said Marit Berger Røsland, Norwegian Minister of EEA and EU Affairs.Read the MFA’s facetsheet on the agreement with Greece here
