The Head of the Greek Press Office in London, Spyros Diamantis was awarded with the 2013 prize of Diplomat Awards for Outstanding Contribution to the Press Corps.

It is a unique achievement that the magazine Diplomat has established. The glorious ceremony took place in the center of London and almost all foreign diplomats who serve in the city, representatives of the British Foreign Ministry and journalists from all around the world attended. Only 10 diplomats were distinguished in the respective number of categories among more than 100 diplomats who served during the last years. The winners were selected after a vote.

Amongst the winners is the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the price “2013 Distinguished Contribution to diplomacy in London”, for its immaculate care to the numerous representatives of foreign countries and officials during the Olympics 2012.

The best diplomats from Africa, Asia, Eurasia, Europe, North and South America and the “youngest diplomat” were also distinguished.

Sir Christopher John Rome Meyer, former British ambassador to the United States, presented the ceremony. Meyer pointed out that Diamantis has offered his country an excellent service during a really difficult juncture.
