Ambassador Pediotis highlighted Greece's formal relationship with the Philippines, which started in 1947, when the Honorary General Consulate of Greece in Manila was established.

He said, "Today, our relationship is that of a warm friendship and close proximity — I would dare to say identical — to all international issues, especially on the law of the sea, the peaceful resolution of disputes and climate change."
