Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras met with Greek Orthodox Archbishop of America Demetrios, who is currently visiting Greece on the occasion of the international conference organised by the foreign ministry.

The two men talked about the Greek-American relations and the political developments, while the archbishop congratulated Tsipras on the organisation of the international conference “Religious and Cultural Pluralism and Peaceful Coexistence in the Middle East” held in Athens.

“Inter-religious dialogue marks the need to find solutions through discussion and mutual understanding. And when representatives of different religions give the example, they allow no room for those seeking to exploit people’s faith in order to spread discord, disputes and warlike conflicts,” Mr. Tsipras noted.
