The whole greeting of the Minister of National Defense, Nikos Dendia
“I would also like to publicly thank the Minister of Development Mr. Takis Theodorikakos and his associates for achieving the current outcome. That is, for the efforts of all this time in order to get to the signing of today’s contract for the THORAX program. What is the thorax program? The thorax program is an important part of the “Agenda 2030”. It is a comprehensive information support and decision -making system from the armed forces of our country.
This system collects data from all the sensors we have: radar, aerial, terrestrial means, UAVs, observatories, electronic means, from all bodies, not just the Armed Forces, Greek Police, Coast Guard, Civil Protection. It categorizes, prioritizes them, processes them, and then presents this sophisticated product – which apparently exists artificial intelligence – in the appropriate step, in the appropriate body each time. It also facilitates this decision, through the integration of business processes.
All that sounds extremely complex is also absolutely necessary. There are no armed forces, I dare say that it is not meant to be a modern state in the 21st century, without these possibilities. So what we do in the context of the “Agenda 2030” reform would be very limited if it was not combined with such a system.
So, I think today is a very important day. I would like to thank, Mr Minister and the deputy deputy minister, Zoe Rapti, because he had worked with the effort to get here today. And to end by saying that “Agenda 2030” has a uniqueness in the history of modern Greece. It leads to the creation of the most powerful armed forces we have ever had.
And it is especially pleasant to say this on the eve of March 25th. “
The whole greeting of the Minister of Development, Takis Theodorikakou
For the Ministry of Development is a special day, as we sign with the Minister of National Defense the Convention on the implementation of an innovative and innovative program – the “Thorax” program – which is of great importance and contribution to national security.
A project funded by 48,950,000 euros from the program of the Ministry of Development with resources of the recovery fund. It is an honor for us to strengthen with our actions the security of our country and the national defense.
The “Thorax” program creates the infrastructure and the process so that any information available – from the Armed Forces, Civil Protection, the Port – to concentrate, be evaluated in combination and offered to executives responsible for handling cases associated with the country’s security.
Whether it is a military threat, or the movements of illegal circuits, slaves and smugglers, or a state of emergency.
We thus upgrade decisive operational opportunities, to the benefit of national sovereignty, citizens, and our executives serving in the Armed Forces, the Fire Brigade, the Port. To be able to do their job more efficiently and more safely.
The primary value we serve as a lineup and as a government must be – and is – patriotism, as it is for all Greeks. And this governs every aspect of our policy, it concerns all our policy in the Ministry of Development.
I note that the support of the border areas of the country, with new investments and the creation of thousands of quality jobs, is de facto contributing to the reduction of regional and social inequalities, the treatment of demographics, as well as our national defense and national security.
We have unlimited respect for the work done by the Armed Forces and the Greek Police at the border, to prevent illegal immigration and prevent any danger. But, there is no doubt that the best timeless and strategic defense is economic growth, they are jobs, they are new technologies in the border areas.
And we are promoting and reinforcing with the new development, which will be legislated in the coming period and will evolve in 2025, 2026 and 2027, with a € 900m program that will be directed to the border areas.
In this mission, which assists national security and perspective of Greece and Hellenism, we are completely committed to.
