WASHINGTON, DC – On May 27 the Brookings Foreign Policy program, in partnership with the University of Virginia Miller Center, presented a webinar featuring Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis discussing Greece's successful management of the COVID-19 crisis and the challenges and opportunities lying ahead. Following welcome remarks by Brookings Institution President John Allen and UVA President James Ryan, Brookings Senior Fellow Amanda Sloat, and UVA Miller Center Director and CEO William Antholis moderated a conversation with Mitsotakis that included questions from the audience. The National Hellenic Society also supported the event. Ryan began by attributing some of Greece's success “to the fact that the Prime Minister acted quickly, following the advice of public health experts” who “communicated with the Greek people regularly and clearly.” Allen noted Mitsotakis' “swift and bold action at the outset of this terrible health crisis,” and added that his “strong leadership have come to be deeply admired across the U.S. and around the world,” where officials now “turn to Greece for best practices and inspiration.” Read the full report at thenationalherald.com RELATED TOPICS: Greece, Greek tourism news, Tourism in Greece, Greek islands, Hotels in Greece, Travel to Greece, Greek destinations, Greek travel market, Greek tourism statistics, Greek tourism report Let's block ads!
