The annual Greek Independence Day reception was held at the White House on Thursday. This is a special honour given by the US government to Greece, as the Greek-American and Irish communities are the only national groups in the US to celebrate their national anniversary at the White House every year. This particular event, in addition to its strong communicative character, offers a first-class opportunity to the Greek-American community to convey messages to the US political leadership.

The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) celebrated the 198th anniversary of Greek Independence Day by hosting its annual “Congressional Salute to Greek Independence Day,” March 27, 2019.

President Pavlopoulos underlined the need for a solid front of co-responsibility and coordination of our actions for the promotion of the country, the people and the nation's interests in his message for the Greek Independence Day on March 25.
