Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Terens Quick, held a telephone conversation, late yesterday, with the Mayor of Tarpon Springs, Florida, Chris Alahouzos, on the impact of hurricane Irma.
Mr. Alahouzos, who is of Greek origin, said the hurricane was losing strength, adding that, due to timely preparation, there were no victims, only material damage. He also expressed gratitude to the President of the Republic, Prokopis Pavlopoulos, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nikos Kotzias, and the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Terens Quick, who responded promptly, lending their support during the storm.
Mr. Alahouzos took the opportunity to brief Mr. Quick on the decision of the City Council of Tarpon Springs to visit Kalymnos this coming Eastern and sit, for the first time, in a joint meeting with the Municipal Council of Kalymnos. Mr. Quick congratulated Mr. Alahouzos on this initiative and committed the support of the Secretariat General for Greeks Abroad.
