Starting my diplomatic career it must have been a happy coincidence that my first presence to an official reception was in the premises of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Athens on the occasion of the National Day. Now in the last post of my career, it is the destiny that gives me the privilege to have the celebration of this National Day here in Riyadh . And I speak about happy coincidence because I have the Saudi Kingdom in the heart of my heart.

I would like to extend to this great nation and its inspired leader, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah, my best wishes for prosperity and welfare.

Ioannis Christoviles

Ambassador of Greece
