Greek Prime Minister Orders Upgrade to Nation's Security
Greece’s new Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis decided to reorganize the country’s national security agencies "to stand against contemporary challenges and new threats" facing Greece, the prime minister’s press service said.
"The main objective for the government is modernizing the country’s security policies. That is why it was decided that we need to institutionalize the position of a security adviser who would support the prime minister and communicate with the Defence Ministry", the press service said in a statement on Thursday.
According to the statement, Vice Admiral Alexandros Diakopoulos has been appointed to the new position.
Moreover, Mitsotakis has decided that Greece’s National Intelligence Service (NIS) should be restructured. The prime minister appointed Panagiotis Kontoleon to become the head of the agency.
