The Hellenic Parliament set up a Special Permanent Committee on Greeks Abroad, which at the current session consists of 31 Greek MPs. The Special Committee identifies the problems of Greeks Abroad, seeks to preserve the Greek language and disseminate philhellenism. It aims to promote Greek culture especially among the new generations of Greeks abroad as well as national issues with the support and co-operation of Greeks Abroad.

The Committee participates in events hosted by Greek organizations abroad that promote relations and ties between the Hellenic Parliament and Greeks living all over the world and strengthen the relations with MPs of Greek descent in other parliaments.

The Special Permanent Committee on Greeks Abroad co-operates with the General Secretariat for Greeks abroad of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs on matters related to Greek Diaspora.
