Greece and Malta have jointly warned the United Nations that terrorism at sea poses a growing threat to global trade, ports, and supply chains.
The two nations delivered this message during an event organized by their Permanent Missions on the sidelines of the UN Counter-Terrorism Week 2026 in New York.
The intervention highlights the increasing focus on maritime security as a critical component of global economic stability.
With global trade routes facing fragmentation due to geopolitical tensions, the joint statement from Athens and Valletta underscores the vulnerability of key shipping corridors.
This comes as Greek officials have previously outlined a strategic roadmap positioning the shipping, port, and energy sectors as primary drivers of national economic growth.
The warning aligns with broader efforts to strengthen European maritime cooperation.
