Referring to the Greek-US relations he characterised them “relations of friendship, cooperation and alliance” noting that “it is a stable, fundamental parametre of the Greek foreign and defence policy” while on the relations with Russia he said that despite the recent turbulences the relations are friendly and functional”.
