MESSAGE FROM THE DEPUTY MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

FOR GREEKS ABROAD

Mr.THEODOROS KASSIMIS

-SEASON’S GREETINGS-

My Fellow Greeks,

      During the holidays, all our thoughts here in Greece are with our brothers and sisters overseas. With your strong spirit and your unwavering love of Greece you are a true force of prosperity and progress, not only for your respective communities wherever you have settled, but also for our mother country.

      Christmas and New Year’s celebrations remind us of the message that Christ brought with his birth, a message of love, brotherhood, humility, and hope. By understanding and experiencing our traditions you strengthen your bond with our motherland and through your community involvement, accomplish your dreams of keeping Greeks from all over the world together.

      Wherever you are, your strong presence will continue with the same success to overcome the challenges of our times, so that Hellenism will get even stronger and better. Greece is, as always, by your side in all your endeavors!

      With my best wishes for Merry Christmas and a Happy and Peaceful New Year!

Theodoros Kassimis
