Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met with members of Greek-American community in the Astoria district of Queens, New York, on Tuesday, where highlighted the significant contributions of their community and extended an invitation to businesspeople to invest in Greece.

Addressing his audience he initially stated: “No visit to New York is ever, ever complete without a gathering of the dynamic Greek-American community of this wonderful city. Thank you very much for being here.”

He stressed that Greece serves as a pillar of stability and prosperity in a very turbulent region, at a time when the world faces extremely complex global challenges.

Mitsotakis emphasized the strategic depth of the relationship between Greece and the United States, a longstanding friendship that will not be affected, regardless of the outcome of the forthcoming U.S. presidential elections.

The prime minister especially referred to the postal voting option, available for the first time in the recent European elections, and emphasized the distinct role of digital technology in interacting with Greece’s diplomatic missions which aims to make life easier for expatriates.

In addition, he mentioned that the government aims to encourage more Greeks who emigrated during the difficult years of the crisis to return to Greece, and also motivate more Greek-Americans to invest in the country.

“As someone who has spent many years in the U.S., who has seen various governments fail to keep their promises regarding the importance of this relationship, I want to ensure that we operate differently. I believe we have proven that we can truly achieve this. We want you to be part of Greece’s success, and I am confident that you will do just that,” Mitsotakis concluded.
