During his first official visit to Sydney, the Ambassador of Greece to Australia Stavros Venizelos met with representatives of the Greek Australian media, including The Greek Herald‘s Digital Editor Andriana Simos.

With regards to investment, the Ambassador touched on the Double Tax Agreement between Australia and Greece and said “negotiations are continuing but it is on the right track.”

When asked about the office of the Greek Tourism Organisation (EOT) at the Greek Centre in Melbourne, Mr Venizelos said it was close to reopening and stressed its potential benefits in promoting Greek culture and tourism in Australia.

The meeting concluded with Mr Venizelos giving a heartfelt message about the Greek community in Australia and how he has “never seen anything like it” in terms of their pride in the homeland.
