The discussion centered around several topics of mutual interest ranging from U.S. relations with Greece, Turkish violations of Greek air space over the Aegean Sea, the Greek military’s deployment in multiple areas around the world, and Greece’s importance as the United States’ key strategic, political and economic ally in Southeast Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean.

“We were honored to have such a high ranking Greek military delegation visit Hellenic House. We look forward to working with them in the future to continue strengthening U.S. relations with Greece and pursuing common goals and objectives,” said AHI Executive Director Nick Larigakis.
