Participation at Remembrance Ceremony for Korea War Veterans (4 Dec. 2019)

The Consul General, Mr. D. Michalopoulos, took part in the Remembrance Ceremony at the Melbourne Korean War Memorial, organised by the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea to honour the fallen of the 1950-1953 conflict.

The Greek Consul General was accompanied by two veterans of the Greek Expedition Force of Korea, who now live in Melbourne.  Their participation at the event served as a reminder of Greece’s contribution to the Korean War and as a testament to Greece’s and Australia’s common participation in various war fronts.

The Greek participation in the remembrance ceremony was covered by the Greek-language media and the participants gave later a short radio interview live on air.
