Greece’s Secretary General for Greeks Abroad and Public Diplomacy, John Chrysoulakis, has sent a letter of congratulations to Member for Oakleigh, Steve Dimopoulos MP, on his recent appointment as Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, as well as Minister for Creative Industries of Victoria.
In his letter, Mr Chrysoulakis said: “Your success honours the Hellenic Diaspora, as it proves that Greeks, wherever they are, are a respectable part of local communities with special value, appreciation and recognition.”
“Your engagement with public affairs since 2014, your repeated election by the local community, as well as the assumption of a series of state and political offices are living proof of both your abilities and knowledge as well as the trust and respect held by your fellow citizens in your person.”
The Secretary General added that given all Mr Dimopoulos has achieved in public affairs so far, he is “absolutely sure that you will continue to serve your fellow citizens in the best possible way.”
“At the same time, I am optimistic that in exercising your duties you will always have in mind the interests of the Greeks of Australia and of Hellenism in general,” he concluded.
