Greek Deputy Foreign Minister visits Greek community in Tasmania

·

Greece’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Greeks Abroad, Ioannis Loverdos, visited the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Parish in Hobart, Tasmania, on Sunday, October 19, alongside the Greek Ambassador to Australia, Stavros Venizelos.

The parish serves a small but active local Greek community.

Following the church service, Loverdos met with members of the community to discuss local concerns.

He emphasised that his visit was more than symbolic, stating: “Our purpose is to record the problems, come up with solutions, improve our services and bring Greece closer to you.”
