Thanks, Liz, and “Kalispera” to everybody. It’s such an honor for me to join you today as we commemorate International Women’s Day. We really wanted to come together today to honor our nominee for the State Department’s recognition. And as Liz said, I’ll have a little bit more to say about Emine Buruci as we continue on this afternoon.
But let me start by saying what a real treat it is to see so many familiar faces on both of the screens. I’m glad to see everybody is healthy and well, and to have so many really stellar representatives of Greece’s women’s groups, human rights NGO, our partners from civil society, the media, friends from here in Athens and as far away as Alexandroupouli, and I particularly want to recognize the presence of His Eminence the Metropolitan of Xanthi, who I see right in the middle of my screen, so thank you for joining us.
