A delegation headed by the U.S. International Financial Development Corporation (DFC) CEO Adam Boehler has begun a tour of the Balkans and Israel as was proposed after the economic agreement between Kosovo and Serbia was signed, brokered by the White House on Sept. 4. The delegation will also travel to Israel as a followup to the White House-brokered establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Boehler’s first stop was in Athens where his delegation met with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Sept. 21 and discussed the prospects for large U.S. investments in Greece. Unnamed sources cited by the Greek daily Kathimerini confirmed U.S. interest in investments in Greece, such as the Elefsis Shipyards and the ports of Alexandroupolis and Kavala. A press release from the American Embassy in Athens calls the DFC “America’s development bank.”
