Defence Minister, Mr. Charalambos Petridis, accompanied by the Ambassador of France in Cyprus, Mrs. Salina Grenet-Catalano, the Chief of the National Guard, Lieutenant General Democritus Zervakis, and the General Director of the Ministry, Mr. Andreas Loukas, visited today the French “Charles De Gaulle” aircraft carrier which has been moored at the Limassol port since last Saturday.
