#Navy Chief on a Three Day Visit to Greece #Greece is very important for India as it acts as a counter balance to #Turkey. Greece and Turkey have been regional adversaries in the #Aegean sea, both asserting claims over their borders in the Sea. We should not forget that Greece and India have common security concerns in the #Meditation Sea. India can help Greece in the field of #cyber security and Greece can assist India wrt merchant vessels. Greece can become an important partner in the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor launched during India’s #G20 presidency. The other common areas of growth can be in renewable energy, infrastructure, #ports and #shipping, and logistics. The position of Greece is the world map is such that it has considerable dominance over the #mediterranean sea. It is also a gateway to Europe. Greece is member of #NATO and has a rich cultural heritage. India on the other hand is looking to expand trade ties westwards. India also is considering better #defence ties with countries that have similar ideology. The scope of defence ties with Greece are hence immense. Over the past few years, Greece has given importance to defence cooperation and military exercises between the two countries. Greece has always backed India’s position on the Kashmir issue. India and Greece have common concerns wrt maritime security and implementation of #UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. This law is being violated by Turkey and China in the #Eastern Mediterranean and the Indo-Pacific almost every day. It will be in the scheme of things if in the future India and Greece build upon the already existing defence ties. India can always look forward to export defence equipment particularly anti drone systems to Greece keeping in view that #Turkey has built an extensive Drone system which can be used to dominate various islands which are otherwise part of Greece. India can also seek help in ship building technology from Greece, as Greece has an age- old tradition of making boats and ships. A joint collaboration between #Mazgaon Dockyard and #Skaramanga shipyard can give Indian shipbuilding a major flip. Skaramanga has expertise in ship repair and maintenance. It looks like in the the future India and Greece can shape #Global #Geopolitics in a way that it suits each other's countries interests. Close ties between the two countries could be beneficial for both. Greece can definitely balance the negative sentiment that Turkey is trying to generate against #India at various international forums. Greece can also facilitate India's ambition to trade with #EU via its own maritime fleet and favourable trade routes that provide India exclusive access to #European Markets.
