Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias marked the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence with a message highlighting the depth of ties between Greece and the United States. Posting on X, Dendias extended warm wishes to the U.S. government and people, saying that Greek-American bonds are strong and grounded in both nations' struggles for freedom. He pointed to a shared commitment to common values and described the Greek diaspora in America as the vital link connecting the two countries. The message comes as Greece and the U.S. maintain close defense cooperation across NATO, the Eastern Mediterranean, and base agreements that have expanded significantly in recent years. Dendias, as defense minister, has been a central figure in deepening that military relationship. The 250th anniversary of American independence is being marked by governments and leaders across allied nations today. #Greece #GreekAmerica #July4th
