“Representatives of the Ministry of Culture of the Hellenic Republic and the J. Paul Getty Museum met yesterday at 7:00pm at the Ministry of Culture. The purpose of the meeting was the return of the two remaining antiquities claimed by Greece, the gold funerary wreath and the statue of the kore of Parian marble.
The heads of the delegations, Mr. Christos Zachopoulos (Secretary-General of the Ministry of Culture) and Dr. Michael Brand, signed the agreement for the return of the two antiquities. The antiquities will return to Greece before the end of March of this year.
The signing of this agreement confirms a spirit of mutual trust and understanding between the parties and creates new prospects for their relations.”
