Greece and the United States have recently been engaged in intensive negotiations on the signing of a new, updated Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement (MDCA) that will replace the existing one dating back to 1990 (which has become known as "the bases' agreement") and is considered obsolete due to the rapid changes that have taken place in recent years.

Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammenos visited the 110 Combat Wing in Larissa on Thursday accompanied by U.S Ambassador to Greece Geoffrey Pyatt.
