Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou has received an Egyptian, Greek and Cypriot youth delegation, as part of the fourth edition of the “Nostos: Reviving Roots” presidential initiative.
At the beginning of the meeting, the Greek leader shed light on the deeply-rooted historic ties binding the three countries that are keen to consolidate the principles of peace, stability and territorial integrity and sovereignty, according to a statement released by the Emigration Ministry on Thursday.
The fourth edition of the “Reviving Roots” presidential initiative was launched in April during the visit of Emigration Minister Nabila Makram to Nicosia.
The initiative seeks to benefit from the “soft power” of the communities that once lived in Egypt, as well as to strengthen relations between the Mediterranean peoples through “people’s diplomacy.”
It also profiles Egypt as a country of refuge that has opened its arms to foreign communities throughout its history. These communities in turn have enriched Egypt’s cultural diversity.
