My right hon. Friend the Defence Secretary has spoken to several of his NATO counterparts, including his Greek and Turkish colleagues. The UK continues to encourage constructive bilateral discussions, and to encourage de-escalation so as to avoid misunderstanding and miscalculation. It is essential that we work together with our international partners in the Eastern Mediterranean to achieve stability and mutual prosperity.
