Israeli Deputy PM Ehud Barak on Greek visit, 10 Jan 2012. Defence Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos met on Tuesday with Israeli Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Ehud Barak, and discussed bilateral cooperation in the defence sector. The talks between the two ministers were held in a "good climate", and the political framework was set out for further cooperation between Greece and Israel in the defence sector. In statements to the press afterwards, Avramopoulos described Barak's visit to Athens as "important", as it reaffirmed the strengthening of relations between the two eastern Mediterranean relations in the backdrop of a fastly changing region. "Our choice and commitment is a deepening of cooperation," Avramopoulos said, noting that the consolidation of bilateral relations had been late in coming. www.athensnews.gr
