Mitsotakis stated that “France is Greece’s true ally,” highlighting the importance of the commitments to mutual assistance in the Greece-France agreements. The governments signed a broader “enhanced comprehensive strategic partnership” that includes agreements in education, scientific research, and nuclear energy. Additionally, French defense company MBDA secured a contract to maintain the Greek army’s Mica missiles. Both leaders emphasized the need to define the EU’s mutual defense clause, Article 42.7, without replacing NATO’s Article 5. Earlier, Macron and Mitsotakis, along with French Defense and Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin and Naval Group CEO Pierre-Eric Pommelet, visited a Greek frigate at the Piraeus port, which was constructed by France’s Naval Group.

Oh look, two countries finally figured out that a little ‘mutual defense’ is better than a long-distance relationship over a bottle of ouzo. Guess the Mica missiles won’t be the only thing keeping the peace—who needs NATO when you’ve got a strategic partnership, right? 😏🇫🇷🇬🇷
