“A new and positive international image of the country is Greece’s new legacy from the crisis, and a sense that we can cope even with the greatest difficulties,” President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou announced on Tuesday as she delivered the opening remarks of the 5th Delphi Economic Forum, which will this year take place online due to the pandemic, ANA reports.
Sakellaropoulou noted that the pandemic had canceled the annual meeting of forum delegates in historic Delphi but had not dismayed the organizers, who used their creative imagination to adapt the conference to the new conditions.
Regarding Greece’s response to the first wave of Covid-19, she said it had shown self-restraint, responsibility, and exceptional efficiency, during which “the state gained the trust of the citizens and Greece the respect of international public opinion.”
Reinforcing the health system was not just a wager relating to the quality of life and the state’s obligation to society but also an area where the citizens’ trust in democracy is judged and formed, she added.
