“Today is a historic day for Greece and France because we have decided with President Macron to upgrade our bilateral defence cooperation while expanding the readiness of our states for solidarity, mutual assistance and joint action in all fields,” Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday in joint statements with French President Emmanuel Macron on the strategic agreement between Greece and France and the purchase of the Belharra frigates by Greece, ANA reports.
“The signing of the agreement on the establishment of a strategic partnership for cooperation in defence and security not only reflects but reinforces a reality which is known to all, which is that our two countries, Greece and France, have already developed a very strong alliance that goes substantially further than our obligations to each other in the context of the EU and NATO,” he added.
