The Hon. Arthur Sinodinos AO, is now officially Australia’s Ambassador to the United States, after presenting his credentials to President Trump at the White House yesterday.

I could not be more proud or humbled to represent Australia as custodian of our most important bilateral relationship,” he posted on his official twitter account.

Mr. Sinodinos is a pillar of the Greek-Australian society and has made outstanding contributions to the Australian and Greek community. He has subsequently worked as a public servant and political adviser, most notably as chief of staff to Prime Minister John Howard between 1997 and 2006, before being appointed to fill a vacant seat in the Senate in 2011. Former Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull also gave him a senior position in their ministries.

Now, Arthur starts a new chapter and writes history, becoming the first Australian born Greek origin Ambassador to the United States.
