Participation can be limited to evangelizing and forming the faithful. But it can also be broadly interpreted to lecturing non-Christian governments and peoples.
Can. 747 §2 does presupposes some form of Latin integralism as being true and universally applicable to human society, regardless of whether they are Roman Catholic or not.
If the Greek Orthodox did not have a significant presence in non-Greek countries I would expect their leaders to follow suit, as they already have in the US to some extent.
