ATHENS – Deputy Foreign Minister Andreas Katsaniotis, who is visiting South America, held a meeting with the Greek communities of Argentina on Wednesday.

“In Buenos Aires, Bahia Blanca, Tucuman, etc. live and progress 30 thousand Greek expatriates who grow our homeland and promote our culture and values”, Katsaniotis said in a post on Twitter and added:

“We have a duty to stand by them and support them.”
