Greece’s Secretary General for Greeks Abroad and Public Diplomacy, John Chrysoulakis, shared a letter of congratulations directed to Steve Dimopoulos MP, on his recent appointment as Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, as well as Minister for Creative Industries of Victoria.
“In your achievement we all see a successful fellow countryman,” Mr Chrysoulakis wrote. “Your engagement with public affairs since 2014, your repeated election by the local community, as well as the assumption of a series of state and political offices are living proof of both your abilities and knowledge as well as the trust and respect held by your fellow citizens in your person.”
The Secretary General added that given all of Mr Dimopoulos’ public affairs achievements he is certain that he will continue to serve his fellow citizens in the best possible way keeping in mind the interests of the Greeks of Australia and of Hellenism in general.
“Your success honours the Hellenic Diaspora, as it proves that Greeks, wherever they are, are a respectable part of local communities with special value, appreciation and recognition,” Mr Chrysoulakis continued.
