A visiting delegation of senior members of the Hellenic Parliament recently met with community members and Greek Orthodox students in Sydney.
The cross-party parliamentary delegation currently visiting Sydney includes Maximos Charakopoulos (New Democracy), Filippos Fortomas (New Democracy), Stavros Michailidis (PASOK), and Konstantinos Barkas (SYRIZA), who represent a broad cross-section of Greece’s political leadership.
The General Consulate of Greece in Sydney hosted a meeting between representatives of Greek community organisations and associations in NSW and the parliamentary delegation. The delegation was accompanied by Consul General of Greece in Sydney, George Skemperis.
The meeting covered a wide range of issues concerning Sydney’s Greek community, including taxation, military service, visas, and preserving Greek language, identity and culture.
The Greek ministers also paid a visit to the Greek Orthodox school All Saints Grammar where they met with the school’s teachers and students who presented musical and dance performances.
