Greek Ambassador to Australia, Stavros Venizelos, is currently on an official visit to Melbourne, a city known for its significant Greek community, to enhance bilateral ties between Greece and Australia across various sectors such as tourism, the economy, and education.

During his visit, Ambassador Venizelos, accompanied by Greek Consul General Emmanuel Kakavelakis, has engaged in discussions with key officials from the state of Victoria, including Premier Jacinta Allan. In the coming days, he is also set to meet with prominent figures from the Greek-Australian community in Melbourne.

A major focus of Ambassador Venizelos’s visit is to explore strategies that can increase engagement among younger Greek-Australians in preserving their heritage, particularly in learning the Greek language and understanding their cultural history.

Victoria is home to a vibrant Greek ancestry population of 181,184 people, with 46,623 of these individuals having been born in Greece, according to state government data.
