Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis attended the March 25 parade of Greek community associations of Greater Montreal, joined by his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau.
His presence in Canada had an additional significance, he said, as 2-24 represents the first time that Greeks abroad will be able to vote by mail from their permanent country of residence.
The Greek PM also thanked Trudeau personally for the opportunity to attend “this glorious parade, on this very important day.”
Trudeau, on his part, said that Greek Canadians form “an incredibly dynamic community” that has contributed greatly to Canada.
Earlier, the two leaders attended a celebratory liturgy for Greek Independence Day at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Annunciation. Mitsotakis and Trudeau also paid visits to stores owned by Greek Canadians and chatted with them and their customers. [AMNA]
