Greece is transforming its foreign policy under Deputy Foreign Minister Harry Theoharis, linking economic diplomacy with defense modernization. Economic diplomacy now aims to synergize Greece's defense capabilities, innovation economy, and global partnerships into a cohesive strategy. Investments in defense, such as new fighter planes and advanced weapons systems, are viewed as dual-purpose opportunities for national security and international market expansion. Greece's economic diplomacy also embraces technology and redefines military exhibitions as platforms for statecraft, attracting investors and tech startups alongside military figures.
Economic diplomacy is no longer just a question of endorsing trade missions or signing memos. The primary goal is to use it as a strategic multiplier.
Greece's defense modernization investments could serve a dual purpose: bolstering national security while providing international partnerships and market opportunities.
The message is unambiguous: Greece is not only defending its borders anymore. It sells its capabilities, innovation, and reliability.
Exhibitions like (Defense Exhibition Athens) are not just military exhibitions anymore; they're statecraft tools, welcoming generals but also investors, tech startups, and foreign ministers.
