This is the first Australian live stream event the Prime Minister has participated in since coming to office in 2019.

“We are honoured that the Greek Prime Minister has accepted our invitation to speak directly to Greek Australians about the role we can all play as a stronger Greece emerges from its years of crisis,” said THI Australia President, Nicholas Pappas AM.

“This promises to be a thought-provoking conversation between two outstanding and dynamic political and business leaders.”
