The answer is no. The Meteor missiles are on the Eurofighter. We are not the ones selling the system to Turkey,\u201d said Lecornu, emphasizing that \u201cwe do not control British arms exports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Athens remains cautious about the impact on regional security. Dendias\u2019 trip also seeks to strengthen Greece-UK defense relations, which have been relatively limited in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Key topics will include defense equipment, such as upgrades to the Super Vita missile boats and Commander radar systems, as well as broader defense cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Dendias arrived in London on Friday and has already met with UK National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell.\u00a0On Monday, he will meet with British officials, including the high-ranking ministers for the armed forces and the defense industry, to discuss defense innovation and technology.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n        var NXFBPixelFunc = function () {\n            document.removeEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n            setTimeout(function () {\n                !function (f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                    if (f.fbq) return;\n                    n = f.fbq = function () {\n                        n.callMethod ?\n                            n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments)\n                    };\n                    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n                    n.push = n;\n                    n.loaded = !0;\n                    n.version = '2.0';\n                    n.queue = [];\n                    t = b.createElement(e);\n                    t.async = !0;\n                    t.src = v;\n                    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n                    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s)\n                }(window, document, 'script',\n                    'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n                fbq('init', '109138906120213');\n                fbq('track', 'PageView');\n            }, 0)\n        };\n        document.addEventListener(\"scroll\", NXFBPixelFunc);\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ekathimerini.com\/politics\/foreign-policy\/1262318\/dendias-in-london-amid-meteor-concerns\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defense Minister Nikos Dendias will meet his British counterpart John Healey in London on Tuesday to discuss enhancing bilateral defense ties.
