India and Greece Forge Stronger Defence Ties

India and Greece have taken a significant step forward in strengthening their defence relations with the signing of a Joint Declaration of Intent. This agreement aims to enhance defence industrial cooperation, setting the stage for a five-year roadmap that will bolster collaboration between the two nations.

The agreement followed bilateral talks between Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and Greek Defence Minister Nikolaos-Georgios Dendias in New Delhi. A key aspect of this expanded partnership involves positioning a Greek International Liaison Officer at India’s Information Fusion Center in Gurugram to boost maritime cooperation.

Additionally, both countries have exchanged a Bilateral Military Cooperation Plan for 2026, emphasizing shared values like peace and mutual respect. This strategic move reinforces the longstanding relationship between the two ancient seafaring nations.
