Discussions focused on strengthening defence cooperation, improving interoperability among regional armed forces, and adapting military capabilities to respond to evolving operational challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special attention was devoted to innovation in civil protection, reflecting lessons learned from recent conflicts where attacks on civilian infrastructure, cyber operations, hybrid warfare, and natural disasters have underscored the need for integrated military and civilian response mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Participants also examined opportunities to expand practical cooperation through joint exercises, information sharing, crisis response planning, and regional confidence-building initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the margins of the conference, General Dimitrios Choupis held a series of bilateral meetings with the Chiefs of Defence of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Serbia, and T\u00fcrkiye, as well as with Admiral George M.
