A new communication between the two Panagiotopoulos – Parli ministers is expected tomorrow Tuesday 9/8 afternoon. Their communication is intense to finalize the list of teams that Mitsotakis will discuss with Macron in Corsica.
This is a list that Mitsotakis will have with him. Includes 2 axes:
The first refers to the maintenance and modernization of the mirage 2000 so that the 44 available to the air force are in flight condition. From there and beyond the certification of the French weapons available to the Greek arsenal, namely the Scalp and Exocet missiles, the receipt of another 6 NH-90 helicopters to complete the program for the army and, of course, Athens’ interest in supplying a squad. Rafale fighter jets while the discussions on the French frigates have not ended but there is a distance due to the high cost. A new proposal from the French is expected. The information says that it will move below 3,000 million euros.
But there is another axis for armaments that the Prime Minister will speak of in Thessaloniki. This includes the immediate supply of heavy torpedoes for the 214 submarines. The upgrade of the 4 MEKO 200 frigates. The modernization of the Army Apache helicopters. The support of MLRS launchers but also the purchase of frigates.
If talks with France do not progress, Greece is considering proposals from Britain, the Netherlands, Germany and even the United States.
It should be noted that the President of France, Emanuel Macron, will discuss this week the tense relationship of the European Union with Turkey with the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, as announced by the French Presidency.
The two leaders will attend the European Southern Summit (MED7) on September 10 in Corsica. The leaders of Portugal, Spain, Italy, Cyprus and Malta will also be present.
