In an unprecedented show of friendship, the Prime Ministers of Greece and Canada joined on a celebratory Zoom session on March 28th with tens of thousands watching via livestream technology.

The session included recorded messages from Canada’s Greek Orthodox Archbishop Sotirios and other community officials, but the discussions with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis were live.

The two leaders shared their personal experiences with each other’s country and spoke of already-strong bonds.

“Greek Canadians are the natural bridge between the two countries,” Mitsotakis said.

The video was livestreamed on the Facebook page of Canadian Member of Parliament Emmanuella Lambropoulos.
