Greek and Egyptian warships held joint exercises

According to Greek media reports on January 28th local time, the Greek frigate Hydra arrived in the waters near Alexandria, Egypt, on the 26th, and held a joint exercise with Egyptian warships the next day.

In response to Turkey’s continued research ship exploration operations escorted by warships in the disputed eastern Mediterranean region, the Greek navy has held multilateral or bilateral maritime military exercises with the navies of Egypt, Cyprus, Italy and France on many occasions since August last year.
