In a message for the occasion, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison noted that “…Greek Independence Day is usually a significant occasion for people of Greek heritage to recall a defining moment in history, and to celebrate Greek culture… Coronavirus is a once in one hundred year event…At a time like this, we all depend on the values of generosity, peace and respect that I know the Greek-Australian community upholds. Such values also give me great confidence that our nation will get through this.”
In his message for March 25, US President Donald Trump stressed, “…On Greek Independence Day, we commemorate the rich history shared between the United States and Greece, which is fortified by our love of freedom and commitment to democratic institutions…(The) conviction for a freer and more prosperous world bolsters the alliance between the United States and Greece.”
