Migration Policy Minister Dimitris Vitsas is in Istanbul this week to attend the sixth Budapest Process dialogue on migration issues.
On the margins of the meeting, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholemew I received Vitsas at the Patriarchate, located in the Fanari district of the metropolis called Constantinople until 1923.
Afterwards, Vitsas warmly referred to the Patriarch, whom he called a very wise man, whose opinions and activities carry significant weight.
