India & Greece decide to expand their respective indigenous defence industries through partnership under Agenda 2030

India and Greece agreed to work together to grow their own defence industries.

This means they want to make more defence equipment in their own countries, while helping each other.

Partnership Between Two Big Plans

India has a plan called “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” (which means being self-reliant in defence).

Greece has a defence reform plan called “Agenda 2030.”

Both countries will team up these plans to help their defence industries grow together.

Agreement Signed

Joint Declaration of Intent: Leaders of India and Greece signed an agreement to increase defence cooperation. This agreement is the first step to make a five-year plan for joint defence work.

Military Cooperation Plan: Both sides exchanged a plan for military cooperation for the year 2026. This plan sets out how their armies, navies and air forces will work together.

Focus on Peace and Security

Talks on Regional Peace: The defence ministers discussed peace and security in the region. They emphasized shared goals like stability and safety.

Maritime Cooperation: Greece will place an International Liaison Officer at India’s Information Fusion Centre-Indian Ocean Region (IFC-IOR) in Gurugram. This helps both countries share important sea and security information.

Why This Matters

This step shows that India and Greece are growing closer as partners in defence and security.

By working together, both countries can improve their defence technology, create more jobs, and strengthen their industries.
