November 17 marks the anniversary of the Athens Polytechnic Uprising, a student-led demonstration against the military dictatorship that ruled Greece from 1967 to 1974. Starting November 15, 1973 thousands of students occupied the Polytechnic School and transmitted a message of resistance against the military junta, through the legendary radio station they had set up.

In the early hours of November 17, the Regime sent a tank to crash through the Polytechnic University gates; this day remains as a symbol of resistance against oppression, and a point of reference in Modern Greek history.

On November 12, 2025, the Prime Minister of the Hellenic Republic, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and the President of the Republic of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, co-chaired the 3rd Intergovernmental Summit of the two countries.

The 3rd Intergovernmental Summit was attended by the Ministers and Deputy Ministers of the two countries who are in charge of Foreign Affairs, Education, Health, Transportation, Environment, Justice and crime prevention, Civil Protection, Housing Policy, Digital Policy and Technology, and Coordination of Government Policies.
