| - The Franco-Greek defence agreement refers to the defence agreement signed between France and Greece on 27 September 2021, which includes a mutual defence clause (article 2) should either be attacked by a third country. The agreement was accompanied by a defence procurement deal worth €3 billion where France would supply Greece with frigates and corvettes. It was signed by French President Emmanuel Macron, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, French Defence Minister Florence Parly, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, and Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias. It was ratified by the Greek Parliament on 7 October 2021 by a vote of 191 for to 109 against. The mutual defence agreement between Paris and Athens is the first intra-NATO defensive alliance among NATO members. The agreement came two weeks after the surprise announcement of the AUKUS security pact by Australia, United Kingdom and the United States where Australia also cancelled a €35 billion deal for 12 French diesel-electric submarines. After AUKUS was announced and the French deal cancelled, Macron sought to build a more autonomous defensive posture for Europe less reliant on US protection. Macron stated that this defensive agreement was "to take responsibility of the European pillar within NATO and draw the conclusions that we are asked to take of our own protection." The Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis echoed Macron's statement, saying, "This opens the door to the Europe of tomorrow that is strong and autonomous, capable of defending its interests." For the first time it is clearly stipulated that there be military assistance in the event of a third party attacking one of the two states. — Greek Prime Minister Kyraikos Mitsotakis, (en)
