Deputy Foreign Minister Kyriakos Gerontopoulos inaugurated the new building of the Greek school "Athena" (K-9) in Bucharest on 21 October, within the framework of his recent two-day visit to Romania.
Gerontopoulos said that "it is with very great pleasure that I am here with you today, and it is very moving for me, because this time I find you in your new space, this beautiful school complex that embraces a special generation of Greek students. Children who, despite growing up far from the homeland, will, thanks to the efforts of their parents and teachers, remain close to the Greek spirit and the Greek language."
The Greek School of Bucharest "Athena" was founded in 2008 following the collaboration between the Greek Ministry of National Education and Religious Affairs and the Association of Greek Parents and Guardians in Bucharest, under the aegis of the Greek Embassy in Romania.
