The former President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Christian Wulff, visited the Ecumenical Patriarchate of the Phanar on April 29.
Wulff, accompanied by the Consul General of Germany in Constantinople, Michael Reiffenstuel, his Political Bureau Director, Peter Kettner, and other associates, was received by the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew.
The meeting, held in a particularly friendly atmosphere, lasted more than an hour, and the Ecumenical Patriarch with the former President had the opportunity to discuss matters of concern to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, as well as its initiatives in the framework of the inter-Orthodox, interreligious dialogue.
