[01] Australian PM on Karamanlis' visit

"Australia and Greece have very friendly relations that are also due to the presence here of a numerous Greek Community," the Australian prime minister said, adding that during Karamanlis's presence in Canberra new initiatives will be announced that will strengthen relations between the two countries even further and referring to the signing of a social insurance agreement and the mutual recognition of family law arrangements.

Karamanlis is expected in Sydney on Monday, his first stopover in Australia, after visiting New Zealand.
