[01] Papandreou itinerary for weekend TIF visit announced
Main opposition PASOK leader George Papandreou will conclude the
customary tours of Greek political party leaders at the Thessaloniki
International Fair (TIF) this weekend, as 2005 marks the 70th holding
of Greece's largest and most important trade exhibition. Papandreou,
the former foreign minister, is expected to arrive in the northern port
city on Saturday afternoon. Later in the evening he will give the
keynote address at a reception held at TIF's main conference centre in
the presence of representatives of business groups, professional
sectors, political cadres and other dignitaries.
Immediately afterwards, he will attend an event sponsored by PASOK's
affiliated youth group in the Thessaloniki-area municipality of
Neapolis.
A tour of TIF's fairgrounds and pavilions is scheduled for late Sunday
morning, following the PASOK leader's earlier meetings with the
leaderships of the two public entity companies managing the annual
event and the TIF facilities, as well as with TIF employee groups.
A customary across-the-board press conference is set for 1 p.m.,
followed by Papandreou's working lunch with PASOK cadres at a downtown
Thessaloniki hotel.
Papandreou will lead a high-level PASOK delegation during the weekend
TIF visit, with 12 former ministers and current PASOK MPs accompanying
him.
