希腊总理米佐塔基斯表示,该国将继续加强与以色列的战略防务合作,同时积极拓展与中东其他国家的关系。1希腊与以色列已于8月31日签署一份30亿欧元(35亿美元)的防御盾合作协议。1米佐塔基斯计划近期访问沙特阿拉伯,并将于周二前往开罗与埃及总统塞西举行会谈。1
在防务投入方面,米佐塔基斯指出希腊是仅有五个北约成员国之一,国防支出占国内生产总值的比例至少达到3.5%。1根据协议,希腊将于2028年末交付首批20架F-35战机,并有选择权追加采购20架。1此外,希腊在沙特阿拉伯部署的空防电池自2021年以来一直在发挥作用,自7月至今已4次动用爱国者导弹系统拦截来自也门的无人机和弹道导弹。1
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced plans to strengthen defense partnerships with Israel while simultaneously pursuing closer relations with Arab countries in the Middle East.1 Greece and Israel signed a 3 billion euro (3.5 billion dollars) defense shield cooperation agreement on August 31, marking a significant expansion of their strategic military partnership.1 Mitsotakis confirmed that Greece will receive its first batch of 20 F-35 fighter jets by the end of 2028, with an option to purchase an additional 20 aircraft.1
To demonstrate Greece's commitment to regional security, the prime minister noted that his country ranks among only five NATO members whose defense spending constitutes at least 3.5 percent of GDP.1 Greece has maintained an air defense battery deployment in Saudi Arabia since 2021 and has used Patriot missiles on four occasions since July to intercept unmanned drones and ballistic missiles originating from Yemen.1 Mitsotakis plans to visit Saudi Arabia in the coming weeks and is scheduled to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo on Tuesday, underscoring Greece's diplomatic outreach across the Arab world.1
