‘The Ambassadors Video Series’ – Ep. 02 Canadian Ambassador to Greece, Anna-Karine Asselin

Continuing our journey into the intricate world of diplomacy, ΤΟ ΒΗΜΑ International Edition is releasing its second installment of “The Ambassadors Series”. In this episode, we leave Europe and “travel” to the American continent to sit down with Canada’s Ambassador to Greece, Anna-Karine Asselin.

See what she has to say about the unexpectedly tumultuous U.S.-Canada relationship that emerged after President Donald Trump came into office.

Anna-Karine Asselin tells us about the deep connection between the people of Canada and Greece, recognizing the contribution of the large Greek diaspora to Canada’s success.

An experienced diplomat who has served her country in international organizations around the world, Ms. Asselin said these relations were founded in the strongly held principles and values Greece and Canada share, “such as a deep attachment to international law, human rights, and the promotion and protection of democracy and of our democratic institutions.”

Anna-Karine Asselin’s appointment as Canada’s top diplomat in Greece in 2022 coincided with the 80th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. “When I arrived in 2022, I had for my main objective to see this relationship grow at the highest levels of engagement,” she said.

Among other things, she recalls the immediate response by the Greek government for the timely and safe evacuation of Canadian citizens after the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.

Canada’s Ambassador in Greece invites the Greek people to visit a unique 3-meter-high marble statue, called Inukshuk, built from Pentelic Marble at Ilisia Park near the center of Athens.

Do not forget to watch our first episode where we talked with the French Ambassador to Greece Laurence Auer.

Join us in these exclusive sit-down interviews in The Ambassadors Series to discover how these global leaders build bridges, foster connections, and shape the future—in the heart of the Mediterranean.
