Combining holidays with work.This was one of the first initiatives I launched when I became deputy minister. I promised it on my first visit to the Greek community in Australia, and in my talks with the Australian government in Canberra.A few days ago in Sydney, on the margins of the enthronement of Archbishop Makarios, I met with the migration policy minister, David Coleman, with whom I discussed the final details, ascertaining that, having cut through a lot of red tape, the programme was ready for its official launch.The relevant details are already available on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. There is a banner for the programme, with the two countries’ flags on it. This banner is also linked with the corresponding banner on the Australian Foreign Ministry’s website.I wish the young Greek people who seize this opportunity every success, and I welcome the young Australians to Greece!”
