She said that “you have managed to give a glimmer of hope to the people that are facing hunger. You have our respect for that.”

Baerbock’s Mediterranean region visit, which included Greece and Turkey, sought to increase cooperation and dialogue in the region, which is facing increased tensions due to the global refugee crisis and border dispute, Xinhua news agency reported.
