On Thursday, 29 February 2024, the Minister of National Defence Nikos Dendias made the following statement on his way out of the Maximos Mansion in reply to journalists’ questions on the Ministry of National Defence Bill, which was presented at the cabinet meeting under the Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis:
“The Government Spokesman will make announcements. The bill will be brought for public consultation, it is a bill on a new phase of the "Agenda 2030” of the Armed Forces, the introduction of Innovation. A Hellenic Innovation Centre will be created to connect the needs of the Armed Forces with new technology, as well as the ecosystem of Greek defence companies.
Furthermore, we will create an Information Technology Corps with a special Cybersecurity directorate, called “Unit 1864”, to protect the Armed Forces and the Greek public sector in general from the threats of the new era.
Thank you very much.”
