Defense Minister Nikos Dendias proposed a trilateral naval cooperation scheme between Greece, the United Kingdom and India during a trip to Cambridge, where he participated in a symposium on Greek-UK relations.
The trilateral, he argued, would facilitate Greek-British cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean and offer India the opportunity to acquire an institutional and stable presence in the same region, to the benefit of everyone.
The proposal has an obvious logic, since all three countries depend to a significant extent on whether the sea routes remain open. Dendias pointed out that the Indian Navy already has a presence in the Red Sea, where the Houthis are active, as do the warships of Greece and the UK, on different missions.
It is not clear whether such an idea would be accepted by the British, but since they are interested in keeping some presence in the region and not just being supporters of Turkish initiatives, this proposal may be an opportunity.
