Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis described today as an important day for national defense and Greek diplomacy after the American Foreign Ministry gave the green light for the sale of 40 F-35 fighter jets to Greece, for 8.6 billion euros.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis touched on last weekend’s visit to Crete by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in particular recalling a statement by the latter whereby Greek-US relations are at their best level that he can remember in the 30 years as a diplomat.

The developments for the purchase of the 5th generation F-35 fighter aircraft are expected immediately after the meeting between Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Anthony Blinken on Saturday in Chania.
