In his New Year‘s message, Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias said Greece would be stronger than ever in 2025.

“In 2025, Greece will be stronger than ever. With confidence and national unity, we are building the most powerful Armed Forces in our nation’s history.

Best wishes for a productive 2025 to all Greeks, and especially to the citizens of the B3 Electoral District of Athens’ Southern Sector. Happy New Year, with health and prosperity!”

On Jan. 31, the Greek Defence Minister stated: “As we usher in the new year, I extend my warmest wishes to the Officers, Non-commissioned Officers, Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, National Guards, Reservists, and civilian staff of the Armed Forces, along with their families.

In 2024, we laid the foundations for the strongest Armed Forces in modern Greece, guided by the “Agenda 2030”. The dawn of 2025 marks another step forward. We will continue with determination to modernize our Armed Forces, a necessity for our national survival.
Greek society takes pride in everyone who wears the uniform of our Armed Forces. The nation trusts and honors you as guarantors of our continuity, freedom, independence, and National Sovereignty.”
