The geostrategic importance of the port of Alexandroupolis was underlined by the French ambassador to Greece, Patrick Maisonnave, in an interview with the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (ANA-MPA) released on Tuesday, ANA reports.
From the French frigate FREMM Languedoc, of the French navy, which docked on Monday in the port of the capital of Evros, the French ambassador told ANA-MPA that the frigate’s arrival at the port constitutes another aspect of Greek-French defense cooperation and is considered very important.
Expressing his satisfaction at visiting Alexandroupolis for the second time in the space of a few weeks, he described the city as a very important port. He noted that its proximity to the Bosporus Strait endows it with a particularly strategic role, especially now due to the war in Ukraine. A war that, as he said, “is very close to us” while noting that France’s presence there shows its support and solidarity. Recognizing the difficulty and complexity of Greece’s role, he estimated that through the presence of the French navy in Alexandroupolis, another opportunity is given to prove France’s support for Greece, a country that the French, as he said, love very much.
