Alt. Defence Minister concluded visit to Washington
Greece's Alternate Defence Minister Dimitris Vitsas met U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Elissa Slotkin and U.S. Principal Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics Alan Estevez during a visit to the Pentagon, a Greek national defence ministry announcement said on Friday.
The meetings took place on Thursday, during Vitsas' visit to Washington. The talks focused on the situation in the region surrounding Greece, which contains areas of military conflict and geopolitical instability, and the efforts being made in the framework of the organisations in which our country participates.
The two sides also discussed cooperation in the defence industry sector, given that Greek defence industry delegations accompanied the minister to the AUSA 2015 defence exhibition.
Vitsas also visited the Greek embassy and held talks with the Greek-American community.
