Geopolitik: Griechenland und USA vertiefen strategische Partnerschaft
Verteidigung, Energie, Schifffahrt: Die beiden Länder wollen künftig enger zusammenarbeiten. Für Verhandler und US-Außenminister Rubio geht es bei dem Deal aber auch noch um etwas anderes.
Athens, Greece - The United States and Greece are seeking to deepen their strategic partnership, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and his Greek counterpart Giorgos Gerapetritis, who announced the move in Athens. The US official declared that the alliance with Greece serves as a source of stability in an unstable world, warning that the birthplace of Western civilization cannot be threatened.
Rubio emphasized that the Greek-American partnership has never been stronger, deeper, or more united, as Gerapetritis echoed, stating that the joint partnership has reached new heights. The two leaders opened the sixth strategic dialogue between their NATO nations, covering a wide range of topics including defense, regional security, energy, maritime trade, technology, trade, and investment.
Greece expressed interest in acquiring more US weapons and equipment, including the new self-defense systems for 20 F-35 fighter jets ordered. A key focus in the energy sector was the "vertical corridor," which involves transporting American liquefied natural gas (LNG) through Greek LNG terminals via Bulgaria and Romania to Central and Eastern Europe. Additionally, Greece plans to explore gas reserves offshore, with ExxonMobil and Chevron involved in projects south of Crete.
