"Greece through the diplomatic lens", a collective photographic exhibition on show between October 2-11 at the Melina Cultural Center, is an initiative of the Diplomatic Corps in Greece to strengthen ties with the Greek public. Seven diplomatic missions, from Belgium, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Iraq, Lebanon, Russia and Switzerland, have joined forces in an effort that explores a unique perspective of Greece, as seen through the eyes of foreign diplomats.

The exhibition became a journey of discovery for all participant diplomats, aiming to establish a bridge of communication between the public and the diplomatic corps, inviting viewers to see beyond the stereotypes commonly associated with diplomats and diplomatic life.

The exhibition is held under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, with the cooperation of the Organization for Culture, Sports and Youth of the Municipality of Athens and the support of Greek Diplomatic Life magazine.
