EXCLUSIVE | Mitsotakis’ pitch to Greek Australians: vote, invest, come closer

Key points

• Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has urged Greeks abroad, including Greek Australians, to vote, invest and engage more closely with Greece. New laws now let eligible Greek citizens registered in Greece vote by post from overseas in national elections.
• Mitsotakis said he remains committed to visiting Australia after postponing a planned trip because of events in the Middle East.
• He also said Greece's ties with Israel, Egypt and the UAE are strong, and that the cost of living remains the government's top problem ahead of elections expected in spring 2027.
