Tsunis met Thursday with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who is traveling to Washington for a meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe discussed how the US and Greece can work together to strengthen our remarkable &#8230; alliance promoting security and prosperity, building on our fantastic momentum,\u201d Tsunis tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Greece also finalized a bilateral defense deal with France in the wake of a tense naval standoff with fellow-NATO member Turkey in 2020. The two countries are locked in a decades-old dispute on sea boundaries and mineral rights in the eastern Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking in parliament, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias said the alliances were key to the country\u2019s defense strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe don\u2019t have the luxury to be careless. We don\u2019t have it. I wish we were Luxembourg, on national security issues. But we are not,\u201d Dendias told lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main opposition party, the leftist Syriza, opposed the agreement, arguing that it didn\u2019t provide Athens with sufficient security guarantees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier Thursday, protesters from the Greek Communist Party unfurled banners at the ancient Acropolis against the military deal. The banners, in Greek and English, read \u201cNo to war. No to the bases of death.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The agreement will grant the U.S. military continued access to three bases in mainland Greece along with its naval
