His Excellency the Right Honourable, David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, stated during the presentation of credentials' ceremony that took place at Rideau Hall in Ottawa (18/11/2014)

"Ambassador Marcantonatos, it is a pleasure to welcome you to Canada. The depth of your diplomatic experience will no doubt serve you well during your time here. I note your academic background in both law and public policy, and look forward to talking with you on matters of importance to our two nations. Please accept my very best wishes as you take up your new responsibilities.

Canada and Greece enjoy strong bilateral relations based on our shared democratic values and people-to-people ties. Our country is home to more than 240 000 Canadians of Greek origin, a number which attests to our long history of sharing and working together. I am pleased at the vibrancy of the Canadian-Greek relationship and look forward to the deepening of our ties in the months and years to come".
