On Tuesday, April 23, Patriarch Theodoros II of Alexandria and All Africa welcomed at the Patriarchate of Alexandria the Cypriot House President, Demetris Syllouris, in the framework of the latter’s official visit to Egypt.
Welcoming the President of the Cypriot Parliament, the Patriarch stressed that “Hellenism and our Patriarchate continue to live here in Egypt for two thousand years now, and I feel glad that Egyptian President Sisi accepts me with respect and much love whenever I ask him to and we discuss the course of our Patriarchate and missionary trips to the African continent.”
For his part, the President of the House of Representatives of Cyprus, Demetris Syllouris, stressed that “The greatest pilgrimage to Egypt is what we are doing now in Alexandria and the ancient Patriarchate. We have to thank you for both for your service to Cyprus and to all mankind.”
