Australia’s Ambassador to Greece Alison Duncan met with Greece’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Greeks Abroad, George Kotsiras, last week to receive an update on the implementation of Greece’s new Strategic Plan for Greeks Abroad.
Ambassador Duncan expressed strong support for the new Strategic Plan, noting that Greek Australians would welcome the Greek Government’s commitment to greater engagement with the diaspora and the continued preservation of Greek culture, language, and the arts abroad.
The Ambassador and Deputy Minister also discussed the significant contributions of the Greek Australian community to various sectors in Australia, including arts, politics, business, journalism, sport and cuisine.
Greek Australians, as the world’s second-largest Greek diaspora, are passionate about preserving their culture, language, and connections to Greece, with strong support from Australian governments at all levels.
