The contribution of Greek American communities to U.S. society through traditions of family, faith, hospitality, and civic values was also praised.

Strategic Cooperation Emphasized

Greece is recognized as an important NATO ally. The administration expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for collaboration in energy, technology, logistics, and defense sectors.

The statement mentioned U.S. naval operations at Souda Bay and joint military exercises as key elements enhancing security in Europe. It honored Greek independence and celebrated the commitment to democracy shared by both nations.
