NEW YORK.The new Greek Consul in New York Lana Zochiou, whose parents are both from Corfu, took up her new duties two weeks ago and attended a celebration with expatriates which included the Asgata Association ‘Cyprus’ and a concert by the ‘Kafavis Group’ at the Stathakio Centre in Astoria.

Speaking to the newspaper The National Preacher, Ms Zochiou expressed her gratitude for their warm welcome and told them that it was the first time that she had participated in an expatriate event. She went on to say that the warmth and love with which she felt herself surrounded would be invaluable support for the demanding work which lay ahead.
Ms Zochiou was born in Athens but both her parents are from Corfu. She has served in various posts, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Information Service. In fact, she assumed her duties at the Ministry when Dr. Konstantinos Koutras assumed his as press spokesman.
Also speaking to the National Preacher, Dr. Koutras said that he was certain that the Greek community would give the same love to Ms  Zochiou as they had given to both her predecessor Manos Koumparakis and to himself.
