French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Greece next week to renew a critical security pact amid growing tensions in Iran, a Greek government official reported.
The agreement between the two NATO allies, originally crafted in 2021, includes mutual defense commitments and significant arms deals, such as the purchase of French frigates and Rafale fighter jets by Greece.
While in Greece from April 24 to 25, Macron and Greek officials will also focus discussions on maritime security and the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, which recently saw a standstill due to Iran's latest shows of control.
