The desire to forge even stronger bonds with Greece was the message that a Greek Australian delegation delivered during its visit to Athens.
President of the Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) Bill Papastergiadis, who led the delegation, proposed a series of initiatives that could enhance the bond between the Greek diaspora in Australia and Greece.
Melbourne is home to one of the largest Greek diaspora communities in the planet as well as being the city with the largest Greek-speaking population outside Greece.
