Strong ties between Greece and Western Australia reaffirmed in high-level meeting

·

The longstanding bonds between Greece and Western Australia were once again highlighted on January 21, during an official meeting between the Consul of Greece in Perth, Eleni Georgopoulou, and the Governor of Western Australia, His Excellency the Honourable Christopher John Dawson AC APM.

Accompanied by her husband, Kyriakos Tsoulis, Georgopoulou had the honour of visiting Government House in Perth for the first time.

During their in-depth discussions, the Consul and the Governor reflected on the strong and enduring relationship between Greece and Western Australia, which has been built over decades through the significant contributions of Greek Australians who have made the state their home.

The presence of the Greek community in Western Australia spans multiple generations, with many considering it either their first or second homeland. Their contributions have not only strengthened bilateral relations but have also enriched the multicultural fabric of Western Australia.

Georgopoulou emphasised the importance of these ties, highlighting the shared history, mutual respect, and the ongoing commitment to furthering cooperation between Greece and Western Australia.

The meeting reaffirmed the deep-rooted connections between the two communities and the continued efforts to strengthen this bridge of friendship and collaboration.
