The Consul General of Greece in Sydney, George Skemperis, met with Zacharias Souris, Head of the Major Minority of the Municipality of Kythera and Antikythera and President of the municipal group All Together, Kythera – Antikythera, during Mr Souris’ visit to Australia on 15 January.
The meeting took place at the Greek Consulate General in Sydney and focused on the long-standing and active presence of the Kytherian community in New South Wales.
Discussions centred on the strong historical and cultural ties between Kytherians in Australia and their homeland, as well as ways to further strengthen those connections through continued engagement and cooperation.
Mr Skemperis acknowledged the significant contribution of the Kytherian diaspora to Greek community life in NSW and reaffirmed the importance of maintaining close links between local communities and Kythera and Antikythera.
Mr Souris’ visit forms part of broader efforts to maintain dialogue between local government representatives in Greece and Greek communities abroad, recognising the enduring role of the diaspora in preserving cultural identity and supporting their places of origin.
