The Ministers of Defense of Greece, Cyprus and Israel called on the countries of the region to cooperate, respect international law and jointly deal with radical currents, for the benefit of the well-being of the peoples.
Panos Kammenos, Christoforos Fokaidis and Avigdor Lieberman, who met in Athens, decided to set up a tripartite committee to prepare for their annual tripartite meeting, which will be permanent.
The meeting discussed, among other things, the maximization of the possibilities in the operational field and in the level of exercises, as well as the possibilities of cooperation in the field of defense industry, research and technology.
Mr. Kammenos stressed that the three countries are determined to maintain and expand the arc of security and prosperity they have created, adding that instability in the region cannot be tackled individually by one state, but requires collective effort and co-operation.
Mr. Fokaidis stressed that Cyprus, Greece and Israel defend not only the common interests, but also the interests of the European Union and the international community, for stability, security and normalcy in a troubled region.
Mr Lieberman said co-operation between the three countries could be an important pillar of security and prosperity in tackling challenges such as smuggling, terrorism and trafficking in human beings.
