Dear Mr Turnbull
On behalf of the Australian, American and Canadian global Hellenic Community, The Macedonian League wishes to officially thank you and your Government for its recent commitment to continue the policy of referring to the FYROM as “Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia”.
Following the recent negligent comments, made by the Member for Hughes (NSW) Craig Kelly, your government was quick to confirm its consistent position in following United Nations' practice and expressed great regret for any offence caused to the Hellenic Republic and Greek Australians.
The global Hellenic Community wishes to congratulate you and your Government on its position regarding this important matter - one that carries serious national security implications for Greece and the entire Balkan region.
In the spirit of Greece and Australia’s shared history, we look forward to maintaining our strong national ties and continuing our mutually beneficial cooperation on strategic affairs.
Yours sincerely,
Department of Communications
