Narrative:
At FL380 60 miles before the nat track we got ECAM of green system low level followed a few minutes later by ECAM green hydraulics low pressure. We preformed all ECAM procedures and after a short consult with maintenance control and ATC decided to divert to a foreign airport. Burned fuel down to below maximum landing weight of 401.2; landed and were towed off the runway to parking stand. Repairs were made by the next day.
