Greece’s Defence Minister Advocates for Enhanced Military Collaboration with the United States

In an interview with Kathimerini, Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias urged the U.S. to fulfill commitments outlined in Secretary of State Antony Blinken's letter to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. He called for a comprehensive defence strategy, including missile systems on Greek islands, to strengthen deterrence in the Aegean Sea. Dendias also ruled out a presidential bid in 2025, emphasising the need for broad political support for the role, while announcing plans to improve conditions for military personnel and enhance military academy admissions.
