Sofia R. Dracopoulos@sofiarousseaudracopoulos 🇬🇷🤝🇪🇬🤝🇨🇾 The Defense Ministers of the three countries expressed the need to intensify efforts and coordinate positions to confront transboundary security challenges/threats, foremost of which are counterterrorism, combating all forms of smuggling, irregular migration, human trafficking, and organized crime, in addition to securing maritime navigation – imposing further responsibilities for coordination and cooperation to face these challenges. The Ministers praised the results achieved by the forces participating in the joint military exercises, foremost of which is Exercise “Medusa”, which contributes to enhancing operational coordination and combat readiness to deter all forms of shared threats. They also emphasized the importance and collective responsibility of the international community to cooperate in de-escalating current tensions in the region, the necessity of an immediate cessation of armed conflicts, and resolving crises through political means – avoiding the expansion of conflict and geographically and temporally extended confrontations that harm the entire world. They reaffirmed the commitment of the three countries to maintaining constructive dialogue with all concerned parties to serve regional security and stability. In this context, it was agreed to: The importance to strengthening military and defense cooperation frameworks to support the collective capacity for a rapid and unified response to any future developments regarding threat sources of all kinds against the three countries. Intensify communication, consultation, and exchanged information and assessment, as well as coordinate joint capabilities in a manner commensurate with the gravity of current and future military and security threats and challenges at the regional level. Hold the next meeting of the dialogue mechanism of the defense ministers of the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Republic of Cyprus, and the Hellenic Republic in Greece during 2027. — @hndgspio @nikos.dendias @alsisiofficial @vasilis.palmas @cyprusgovernment @cyprus_mod
