“This goal must be binding on all 32 members of the alliance”
“As a country in the eastern Mediterranean we welcome the ceasefire that President Trump achieved between Iran and Israel. But let me say that the solution can only be found through active diplomacy, “the prime minister said Kyriakos Mitsotakis coming to the NATO Summit.
As Mr Mitsotakis said, “It is important not to forget the other aspect of this crisis in the area. It is necessary to impose a ceasefire on Gaza to launch humanitarian aid to Gaza. And this is an important element in resolving the problem of instability in the region. “
Speaking about the NATO summit pointed out that “It is important that we have all agreed to increase our defense spending. I am a strong advocate of Europe’s need to reinforce its costs for the collective defense of the alliance. “
As Mr. Mitsotakis pointed out, “Greece spends more than 3% of GDP on defense spending and we have exceeded the 2% threshold. Even during the difficult period of the financial crisis, the decisions of the Synod will be taken. I hope that everyone will take over their share, because in the end it is an alliance based on the distribution of the share of responsibility and trust. First, let me say, we have exceeded 3%. We are currently planning to spend the next 20 years over 25 billion euros. So we will exceed the limit, but the aim of the alliance is to have an equal weight distribution and that there are no differences. This goal must be binding for all -32 members of the Alliance. “
