Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs responsible for Economic Diplomacy and Extroversion, Harry Theoharis, took part in the Business Forum of the Summit of the 13 states that make up the Three Seas Initiative (3SI), accompanying the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr. Konstantinos A. Tasoulas.<\/p>\n
At the Three Seas Business Summit, held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on 28 and 29 April, 13 high-technology companies from the respective member states of the Initiative co-signed a memorandum of cooperation for the creation of a joint network of Earth observation satellites, with the aim of strengthening national security and civil protection. The joint satellite network is a pivotal and broader international initiative in the space sector, under the title \u201cThree Seas Hybrid Constellation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed his satisfaction at the signing of the memorandum, stressing that \u201cthis initiative, which concerns cooperation in satellite technology and data exchange, foresees a prominent role for our country. Greece will undertake to implement 35% of the project. Beyond this, the agreement is of particular importance for our country because it is fully aligned with the national strategic goal of developing the Greek space industry and the flagship programme for sending Greek microsatellites into space. Connecting our national infrastructure with this hybrid constellation will allow a tenfold increase in our operational capacity in Earth observation, providing critical data for our country\u2019s national security and civil protection.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the sidelines of the Three Seas Business Summit, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Harry Theoharis met with the US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs, Allison Hooker. Ms. Hooker praised US cooperation with our country, describing Greece as an energy hub for supplying Eastern Europe and the Balkans.<\/p>\n

Equally positive were the messages from Mr. Theoharis\u2019 discussion with the Regional President for Europe of the American construction giant Bechtel, Martina Strong.
