Elsewhere in his speech he underlined “Always as Greece he was a staunch supporter of Europe’s strategic autonomy within NATO. We have done it for years. Greece spends more than 2% of its GDP on defense, even during the downturn in the debt crisis. We are now spending more than 3% of our GDP in defense. We are committed to 25 billion euros in the coming years to apply the most drastic transformation to the history of our Armed Forces.

The global supply chains are changing, and this creates a terrible opportunity so that Europe can engage with the world south, for new trade agreements, to form corporate relations with players who appreciate access to markets, but at the same time appreciate our own rules and recognizes our own rules. India, for example, is a big player, key player, and I welcome her initiative Ursula, who visited along with the College of Commissioners, the capital of India, to mark the importance of this important partnership we build. And Greece, thanks to its geostrategic position, is the gate of India to the EU. We are ready to implement projects associated with India, Middle Eastthis economic corridor, transformer projects that can change worldwide trade routes and seize a geopolitical opportunity. “
