The long-standing friendship of Canada and Greece within a shared value system and the prospects of deeper collaboration between the two countries were highlighted at the special event hosted by the Canadian Embassy at the Acropolis Museum’s Atrium on Monday evening, on the occasion of Canada Day on July 1, ANA reports.
Ambassador of Canada Mark Allen launched his greeting by praising the two countries’ shared objectives of peace, prosperity, international order, sovereignty, and territorial integrity. He also added that the belief in and practice of human rights and gender equality, democracy, the rule of law, and free and fair trade also “unite the two countries.”
Food, agriculture, and aviation are also key areas of cooperation between the two countries, Allen noted, saying his government “looked forward to” Greece’s upcoming ratification of the recent Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. The Canadian ambassador commended the symbolic significance food holds in both Canadian and Greek cultures and introduced chef Alain Boss? (known as “The Kilted Chef”), who in partnership with the Canadian Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food presented guests with “A Taste of Canada” at the Acropolis Museum.
