Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Saturday spoke of the sealing of the strategic depth of the Greek-US relations as well as for the shielding of Greece via the increase of the deterrent power on land, sea, and air, without burdening the Greek taxpayer, after the letter he received from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the acquisition of up to 40 F-35 fighter jets of 5th generation as well as frigates, tanks and other defense material.
“This development justifies the active and credible diplomacy we have following everywhere in the last years” he said.
Mitsotakis also said that “today is a very important day for the national defense and for the Greek diplomacy because due to the letter I received from US Secretary of State, the strategic depth of the Greek-US relations is highlighted and sealed….it is the result of a methodic, silent and long effort that combined Greece’s alliance consistency in the international fronts with the promotion of its national interests.
“In a period of uncertainty, our country reaffirms that it stands with seriousness and geopolitical maturity on the international map while at the same time, it serves its national rights with the shielding of its defense. On the path of stability and peace always with pride and national confidence” he concluded.
