Defence Minister Charalambos Petridis participated in the 26th Economist Conference held in Athens
Petridis, together with the Greek Defence Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos and the Israeli Defence Minister Mr. Benny Gantz, participated in the session on security in the Eastern Mediterranean and the impact of international geopolitical instability.
In his speech, Mr. Petridis stressed that the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East region is affected by the international climate of instability due to the war in Ukraine. He noted that Cyprus, in cooperation with countries such as Greece and Israel, are actively contributing to regional stability and security.
The Minister also stressed that a key lesson from the war in Ukraine is the need to control emerging and projected revisionist trends and policies. In particular, Petrides said, when these tactics come from states that directly and repeatedly challenge the normative framework of the international system and international law. As a result, he noted, the Eastern Mediterranean region is threatened by Turkish revisionism that affects stability and security in the region.
On the sidelines of the Conference, the Defence Minister held separate meetings with the Defence Ministers of Greece and Israel, as part of the regular policy consultations to review strategic partnership at the bilateral and trilateral levels. He also met with the Executive Director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC) Mr. David Harris.
