December is here and it’s time to look at everything that happened in the past week in the world, through the pictures of the news agencies. In Greece, there was intense concern about the cancellation of the meeting between Mitsotakis and Sounak, while the cessation of the truce caused sadness in the world.
However, other events on the world stage were captured in photographs, in which they tell their own stories. Many say “a picture=a thousand words“, so.
Not much needs to be said about the photos below. They are concentrated in them what happened in the world last week.
Athens – London: All relationships go through crises

Commenting on the event, the Prime Minister emphasized that the issue of the Parthenon Sculptures “gained even greater publicity worldwide”while Rishi Sunak reported that “the agreed terms were not respected”.
