On March 25th, 2024, we welcomed the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, in Toronto in an event we organized in partnership with the Greek Community of Toronto, the Archdiocese of Canada, the Hellenic Heritage Foundation, and the Hellenic Canadian Board of Trade. The public address was titled “Greece and Canada Moving Forward Together” and Prime Minister Mitsotakis’s visit marked the first official visit by a Greek Prime Minister to Canada in over four decades.

The event took place at the Toronto Convention Center, coinciding with Greek Independence Day celebrations and Vassy Kapelos, our new Goodwill Ambassador was the moderator. Prime Minister Mitsotakis discussed with Canadian Prime Miniter Justin Trudeau his vision for Greece’s future, foreign policy, and relations with Canada, offering the Greek-Canadiancommunity a chance to celebrate their shared heritage and strong community ties in the presence of the Greek Prime Minister.  This visit was significant for bilateral relations, as it aimed to strengthen the historical partnership between Canada and Greece and honor the bonds between Greece and its diaspora.

During lunch on the same day, our very own Nick Nanos interviewed the Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis at the Canadian Economic Club with many of our directors and supporters in attendance.
