City of Athens at the 74th Thessaloniki International Fair

Athens Mayor Nikitas Kaklamanis inaugurated the City of Athens exhibitor stand at the 74th Thessaloniki International Fair.

This year's central theme at the City of Athens' specially designed exhibitor stand is "Green Development and Projects". The theme aims to highlight environmental issues, especially after the recent devastating fires, and also to present the green projects the City of Athens has implemented over the past 2.5 years, since Nikitas Kaklamanis has taken office.

The exhibitor stand was visited this morning by the Metropolite of Thessaloniki Anthimos, ministers, Thessaloniki Mayor Vasilis Papageorgopoulos, the Kifissia Mayor and Chairman of the Association of Communities and Municipalities in the Attica Region (ESDKNA) Nikos Chiotakis, Egaleo Mayor and Chairman of the Local Union of Municipalities and Town Councils of Attica (TEDKNA) Dimitris Kalogeropoulos and the Peristeri Mayor Andreas Pahatouridis.

At the launch Mayor Kaklamanis made the following statement:
"The City of Athens and Athina municipal radio 9.84 FM are once again in Thessaloniki, participating in the 74th Fair. I am very pleased because I was convinced that last year's success could not be repeated. But as you can see, all those who visit our exhibitor stand are happy to come over to us and wish us a good morning.

This fills us with happiness and it shows the love the Thessaloniki citizens feel for Athens and the love Athenians feel for Thessaloniki. A city where I have lived - it was the city of my university years - and I always remember with love and memories".

At the City of Athens exhibitor stand visitors were informed on the actions and interventions of the municipality in regards to green development through informative brochures and a large screen and they also received a potted olive tree as a gift.

Athina 9.84 FM once again has a dynamic presence at this year's Thessaloniki International Fair. Through a specially designed studio installed within the exhibitor stand, Athens municipal radio station will keep citizens informed with interesting reports and interviews from Thessaloniki.
