The Russian consulate in Alexandroupolis, northern Greece, is reopening after more than 100 years, the Russian embassy said in a Monday statement.

Greece and the United States have recently been engaged in intensive negotiations on the signing of a new, updated Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement (MDCA) that will replace the existing one dating back to 1990 (which has become known as "the bases' agreement") and is considered obsolete due to the rapid changes that have taken place in recent years.

Twenty-nine refugees were transported to the port of Alexandroupolis with the help of a Coast Guard vessel, after being found adrift in a dinghy in the sea area between Alexandroupolis and Samothraki.
