Greece will offer to assume command of the European Mission in the Red Sea, Defence Minister Nikos Dendias announced on Wednesday in Brussels.
Upon his arrival at the unofficial EU Defence Ministers Council in Brussels, Dendias stated :
“Today we will discuss, apart from Ukraine, the European Defence Industry, something Greece is particularly interested in.
On the one hand, to see what opportunities there are for strengthening the Hellenic Defence Industry and to examine what compatibilities can be created for the Greek Defence Innovation System, which we are trying to create. Additionally, we will discuss the European Mission in the Red Sea. I will propose that Greece assume command of the operation and offer the Larissa Headquarters as the Mission’s headquarters.
