An agreement in principle has been reached between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Greek government to establish a PLO office in Athens, according to reports reaching here. The announcement was made after talks between Greek Foreign Minister George Rallis and the head of the PLO’s political department, Farouk Koddoumi.
Further statements by the Greek government said that although the exact nature of the PLO office would be worked out later, to decide whether it will be a diplomatic outpost or merely an information bureau, Greek support for the national aspirations of the Palestinian people was in line with policies based on traditional Greek-Arab friendship.
