The close ties between US and Greece are a testament to the cooperation between our governments and our people across all sectors, US Ambassador George Tsunis posted on X on Saturday.
"As I reflect on my tenure as Ambassador, I'm grateful for the incredible work of my predecessors, whose contributions continue to make an impact, and wish the very best to my successor in this role. I will be forever grateful for the professionalism and dedication of the incredible team that works at the US Embassy in Athens. I’d also like to extend my gratitude to the diplomatic corps - my fellow ambassadors and their teams - as well as @GreeceMFA , led by my friend George Gerapetritis, without whom this work wouldn’t have been possible. The work of diplomacy is now more important than ever" Tsunis said and added "Serving as U.S. Ambassador to Greece has been the honor of a lifetime. As a Greek-American, returning to serve in the land where my parents were born has made this journey even more meaningful. The philoxenia, wisdom, and enduring spirit that shaped my childhood were magnificently strengthened during my time here. Every corner of Greece - from its storied past to its bright future - has offered lessons in leadership and friendship I will carry forever. Our Chargé d'Affaires Maria Olson will assume leadership on January 20 and continue advancing our shared goals.
