The third edition of ‘Nostos – Return to the Roots’ forum is under way and its host had the chance to talk about it with the President of the Hellenic Republic.
The forum, an opportunity for the Diaspora of Greek, Cyprus and Egypt to strengthen their ties and seek joint strategies to facilitate cooperation, business opportunities and cultural exchange, is scheduled to take place in Melbourne on the weekend of 25-26 March 2019, at the Greek Centre.
