Greece’s National Security Advisor Athanasios Ntokos on Wednesday said that the current sentiment in Brussels and other major European capitals is that “we need to do more about European strategic autonomy and invest more on defence” in the light of shifting global dynamics.
Speaking with Firstpost Managing Editor Palki Sharma at Firstpost’s IdeasPod as part of the annual Raisina Dialogue organised by Observers Research Foundation (ORF) in partnership with the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Ntokos expressed a commitment to collaborate with the US and said that Europe is now trying to understand what is the thinking of the new American administration.
“Of course, on the European side, we’ll keep trying to work with Washington as much as we can. But at the same time, we need to be preparing ourselves. So the thinking now in Brussels and major European capitals is that we need to do more, more about European strategic autonomy, invest more on defence,” said the Greece NSA.
