Everyone in attendance underlined the excellent bilateral relations between Greece and Australia and stressed the common will to strengthen and expand cooperation in areas of mutual interest.

A special mention was made to the strong presence of Greek expatriates in Australia, who form a bridge of friendship with Greece and play an important role in the country’s political, economic and cultural development.

The Deputy Foreign Minister also expressed his desire to visit Australia as soon as possible.

“I had the pleasure to meet with the Ambassador of Australia, Mr Arthur Spyrou, and the President of The Hellenic Initiative Australia, Mr Nicholas Pappas. I was thoroughly informed about the work of the organisation and we discussed ways to further strengthen the ties of our expatriates with the homeland,” Mr Katsaniotis said in a statement.
