The Greek Herald

The role of Deputy Foreign Minister responsible for the Greek diaspora worldwide has been assigned to Dr Costas Vlassis.

This came after the previous minister, Antonis Diamataris, resigned last week following a scandal regarding false information on his CV. The announcement of Diamataris’ resignation came as he landed in Australia for a Ministerial visit, which has now become a personal trip.

Vlassis was appointed the role by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, due to his strong connection with Greeks abroad, particularly those in America.
