The Hellenic Presidential Guard, known as the Evzones, was officially welcomed to the Parliament of New South Wales during their visit to Sydney this week, commemorating 125 years of shared history between Australians and Hellenes in defending common values.
Wearing their traditional ceremonial uniforms, the Evzones took part in a symbolic event that celebrated the enduring relationship between Greece and Australia.
The occasion honoured more than a century of friendship, cultural ties, and cooperation between the two nations, particularly in times of conflict and mutual support.
Present at the event were the NSW Minister for Multiculturalism Steve Kamper, State Member for Miranda, Eleni Petinos MP, and Hellenic Club of Sydney’s Nick Hatzistergos, who all paid tribute to the longstanding bond between the Greek and Australian peoples.
The visit is part of a broader program of events in Sydney marking ANZAC Day and the 125th anniversary of Greek-Australian solidarity.
