Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in a meeting with Archbishop Demetrios of America noted the importance of the role of the Archdiocese for the Diaspora in the United States.

The two men discussed about the reconstruction of the historic Greek-Orthodox Saint Nicholas Church which was destroyed at the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as a symbolic project of hope for a more peaceful world.

Mr. Tsipras congratulated Archbishop Demetrios for his humanitarian work and his initiatives to support Greece during the economic crisis.
