In the presence of Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis, the unveiling of wax figures of the late Greek prime ministers and statesmen Eleftherios Venizelos, Constantine Karamanlis and Andreas Papandreou was held at Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in London on Monday.

Tourism Development Minister Fanni Palli-Petralia in a speech stressed that these wax figures "show that Greece knows no borders, is not trapped in small and insignificant matters, is not restricted to ephemeral and temporary things."

She further noted that "dynamic extrovert and optimistic Greece constantly has its sight turned to the future and works incessantly for this."

Prime Minister Karamanlis, accompanied by his wife Natasha, Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis, Economy and Finance Minister George Alogoskoufis and Minister of State Theodoros Roussopoulos were given a tour of the museum.
