With China topping the agenda of the Group of Seven (G7) meeting as foreign ministers of member states have been urged to coordinate and form a common stance in addressing the challenges posed by China, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken rejected claims of a Cold War between the US and China, signaling that rather than making all-out efforts to form an anti-China choir, the Biden administration is making subtle moves to align its allies, Chinese experts said, noting that in return, EU officials mixed signals on the ratification of its most promising investment deal appear to be a gesture of echoing the alignment sentiment in the face of growing domestic pressure.

Cooperation between Greek and Saudi authorities led to the discovery of a huge shipment of processed cannabis at Greece’s main port of Piraeus.
Arab News described this cooperation as “a new chapter in expanding bilateral cooperation between Athens and Riyadh” and that “this specific case shows that cooperation on intelligence issues can be critical.”
The SDOE, Greece’s financial crimes squad, said the drugs were uncovered following a tip-off from the US Drug Enforcement Agency and cooperation with Saudi Arabia.
The shipping container, whose registered contents were three industrial cupcake-making machines, arrived by sea from Lebanon on April 14 but was discovered with a tip-off from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.
ATHENS: The assistance recently provided to Greek authorities by the drug-enforcement agency of Saudi Arabia (GNDC/SA), which led to the discovery of a huge shipment of processed cannabis at Greece’s main port of Piraeus, marks a new chapter in expanding bilateral cooperation between Athens and Riyadh.
The two countries have shown willingness to boost their defense ties, but this specific case shows that cooperation on intelligence issues can be critical.
“The help provided by Saudi Arabia to Greek authorities in seizing tons of cannabis exhibits the potential in exchanging intelligence information for common purposes,” George Tzogopoulos, senior fellow at the Institute of European and International Studies and research associate at the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, told Arab News.
