Greece and Israel have formed a strategic relationship based on strong ties of friendship and our common vision as we aim to create a stable, secure, and prosperous environment in the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. Our common goal is to expand and deepen the defense cooperation between Greece and Israel, which has reached an extremely high level in recent years, let me say, of unprecedented development that can be assessed in tangible terms.”
