The President of the Hellenic Republic Prokopis Pavlopoulos arrived in Moscow for a two-day visit, after being invited by the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), which awarded him with an honorary doctorate on Thursday.

The Greek President is scheduled to meet with his Russian counterpart President Vladimir Putin on Friday, before returning to Athens.

The Academy’s Rector Vladimir Mau personally received the Greek President, who later delivered a speech on the law between physics and legal science. A meeting with the Chairman of the State Duma Sergey Naryshkin was also scheduled for Thursday.
