Additional deals included a roadmap for closer foreign ministry coordination, agreements to boost vocational education, higher education and scientific research from 2026 to 2030, and a joint declaration to develop cooperation in nuclear technology.
The two sides also agreed to collaborate on digital ocean systems, defence innovation and military technologies, as well as a framework agreement for ongoing support of MICA missile systems.
Earlier, Mitsotakis hosted Macron at the Port of Piraeus, where the leaders visited the frigate Kimon.
The visit included a guard of honour and flypast by Rafale aircraft, before the leaders toured the vessel’s operations centre, planning room and bridge alongside senior defence officials from both countries.
