Greece was elected today, Thursday, 6 June, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for the 2025-2026 term with the support of 182 states.
This marks the third time our country will hold a seat on the Security Council, following the two-year terms in 1952-1953 and 2005-2006.
Greece is committed to working within the framework of the “Dialogue-Diplomacy-Democracy” nexus and will vigorously promote the priorities of its candidacy, namely the peaceful settlement of disputes, respect for International Law, Women, Peace and Security, Climate, Peace and Security, Children and Armed Conflict, and Maritime Security.
Greece’s term on the Security Council will officially begin on 1 January 2025. From October to December 2024, Greece will hold an observer status at the Council.
We warmly thank all the United Nations member states for honouring us with their vote.
