Greece’s military ‘agenda 2030’ is a program created by the Hellenic government, specifically the Minister of Defence, Nikos Dendias, to further and completely modernize the Hellenic armed forces.
This modernization includes purchasing more advanced equipment and weapons, changes to the army structure, and construction of the Greek ‘iron dome’ similar to the one in Israel. In regards to the iron dome, Dendias said, “to defend its sovereignty and sovereign rights, Greece will proceed, within the framework of the ‘Agenda 2030′, to the creation of a missile wall to protect the Aegean Sea”. Dendias described ‘Agenda 2030’ as not only “a program for the purchase of weapons systems… but a different concept. A concept that looks to the future, recognizing the enormous changes that have already taken place,” he said. He stressed the need for a comprehensive defense strategy, which includes investing in technology, intelligence, and military infrastructure. Dendias also emphasized the importance of international cooperation and coordination in order to ensure the security of the region.
In his full speech to the Naval Cadet School, (provided by the news site, ProtoThema) Dendias said:

“Officers, Petty Officers, Sailors, and civilian personnel of our Navy,

We all celebrate together today the memory of Saint Nicholas, Patron Saint of Sailors, Patron Saint of our huge merchant fleet, the largest on the planet, Patron Saint of our Navy.

And we commemorate the anniversary of the victorious naval battles of the Balkan Wars. The Battle of Elli and the Battle of Lemnos. These naval battles consolidated Greek dominance in the archipelago.

I know very well that the Navy remains a continuation of these traditions, that is, of Greek sovereignty in the Aegean. And it also remains the guarantor of the sovereignty and sovereign rights of Hellenism at sea.

Women and men of the Navy – the Chief of the Naval Staff referred to this at length – “Agenda 2030” is not a program to buy weapons systems, it is an altogether different concept. A concept that looks to the future, recognizing the enormous changes that have already taken place.

I would like to tell you that in addition to the series of building, flying, and modernization, which have already been mentioned, Greece, to defend its sovereignty and sovereign rights, will proceed, within the framework of the “Agenda 2030”, to the creation of a missile wall to protect the Aegean Sea.

A wall that can flexibly and from the very many islands that we have, which will be turned into power units, prevent, prevent any thought or attempt to overthrow the regime in the Aegean that international treaties, international law, international law of the sea have created and solidified.

The 2030 Agenda provides for a modern system to meet challenges and of course, provides for a modern and powerful navy. Let me say, the most modern and the most powerful in the history of our country.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The sea is the natural space of Hellenism, the natural space of the Greeks.”
