Seeking new ways to bolster European defensive cooperation, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called for the creation of a European Security Fund in statements after meeting with his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk in Warsaw on Friday.

According to Mitsotakis, there could be joint borrowing through the creation of a European Security Fund to meet common challenges, such as anti-missile defense.

“If we use the fund, we will need emblematic programs that will prove that they offer security to European citizens,” he said, stressing that “the facts have changed and new security challenges should be brought to the fore.”

He also stressed his personal links to the country, noting that his “wife is originally from Poland,” while also expressing Greek appreciation to Polish firefighters who came to Greece last year to extinguish wildfires.

Referring to the war in Ukraine, the impact of which “is evident in Poland,” he vowed to “continue our strong support for Ukraine financially and militarily for as long as it is needed.”
