Deputy Foreign Minister Yiannis Amanatidis met with Archbishop of Athens and All Greece, Ieronymos following the international conference held on the initiative of the Foreign Minister Nikos Kotzias in Athens.

They talked about the joint actions implemented by the Church of Greece and the State to help in the refugee crisis, and Church’s contribution to the interfaith dialogue.

“The meeting with His Beatitude is always an opportunity to benefit from his valuable experience and social perception,” the minister said after the meeting adding that the Archbishop, “with his peaceful mood and spirit of reconciliation is certainly an emblematic figure or interfaith dialogue, which is essential for peaceful coexistence in modern societies.”
