Featured The first message and Guilfoyle’s syrtaki in Greece – See which politicians and businessmen she invited to Argyros

The new U.S. ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, made a double public appearance over the weekend. She arrived in the Greek capital at midday last Saturday on a private flight, in order to officially assume her duties.

For the premiere of her new role — head of the U.S. Embassy in Greece — Ms. Guilfoyle attended the annual Marine Corps Ball, which this year coincided with her arrival in Athens, giving her the opportunity to spend a few hours with members of the U.S. Armed Forces, their Greek counterparts, as well as the U.S. diplomatic mission. Present at the event were the Ministers of National Defense and Shipping, Nikos Dendias and Vasilis Kikilias respectively, as well as Deputy Foreign Minister Charis Theocharis.

Then, yesterday, Ms. Guilfoyle took part in a private music event with singer Konstantinos Argyros, in the presence of representatives of the country’s economic, business, and social life.

At one point, the new U.S. ambassador to Athens even joined in dancing syrtaki together with other attendees.

Among the dinner companions of last night’s event were government members, such as the Ministers of Labor, Niki Kerameos, Tourism, Olga Kefalogianni, and Shipping, Vasilis Kikilias, as well as former Finance Minister and MP, Christos Staikouras.

Accompanied by her son, Ronan, the new U.S. ambassador to Athens welcomed those present with a short speech, stating characteristically that she herself is looking forward to assuming her duties and she promised that everything she plans to do will leave them satisfied. “I will not disappoint the United States and Greece,” Kimberly Guilfoyle said characteristically, who appears to have been preparing for some time for her debut in the Greek capital.
