As part of their visit, the student delegation visited the Embassy of Australia in Greece and met with Chargé d’Affaires Andrea Biggi. The new Australian Ambassador to Greece Alison Duncan is currently on her way to the country to take over her new diplomatic post, which also includes Bulgaria and Romania.

In a post on Facebook, the Embassy wrote: “We wish the students and their professor a wonderful stay in Greece! They’re not just keeping the torch lit back in Australia – they’re building bridges of friendship.”
