A trilateral meeting of the defense ministers of Cyprus, Greece, and Israel will take place in Larnaca on Friday, focusing primarily on regional security, military cooperation, and maritime and energy security.
Cypriot Defense Minister Savvas Angelides said on Wednesday that he and his counterparts, Panos Kammenos from Greece and Avigdor Lieberman from Israel, will discuss “regional security, possible fields of cooperation among the three countries and further promotion of our military cooperation, which is already in place through joint exercises, and also about expanding this cooperation to issues concerning cyber defense and in the fields of search and rescue.”
Angelides stressed that the goal is to create stability in the region, adding that this could be achieved through on-going cooperation with a view to promote welfare and development through regional cooperation with other neighboring countries as well.
The Cypriot minister underlined the importance of promoting a culture of trust and mutual understanding, since, as he noted, there are common interests among the countries of the region. He referred particularly to the promotion of maritime and energy security, noting that there may be some common projects in this field in the future.
Angelides revealed that an event with the participation of defense SMEs from the three countries would take place in Nicosia on June 21-22.
Responding to a question, he noted that there is also trilateral cooperation among Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt on defense matters, and that Cyprus and Greece could also form such trilateral projects in the defense sector with Lebanon and Jordan.
