    (ANA-MPA) -- Alternate Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas hosted a luncheon at the foreign ministry on Thursday in honor of ambassadors from Arab countries accredited to Greece.

    The luncheon attended the ambassadors of Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Qatar, Syria, Tunisia and United Arab Emirates and the charge d' affaires of the embassies of Egypt, Kuwait, Libya and Saudi Arabia.
