Conference in Greece highlights cooperation

Chinese and Greek officials, business leaders and scholars say the success story of cooperation between the two countries and the recent exchange of high-level visits by their leaders will take bilateral relations to a new height.

The Conference on Greece-China Relations and the Belt and Road Initiative held in Piraeus on Friday gathered senior officials, business executives, academics and scholars from the two countries. It happened two days before President Xi Jinping pays a state visit to Greece from Sunday to Tuesday at the invitation of Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos.

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis just returned from a trip to China, where he led a 200-strong government and business delegation to the second China International Import Expo in Shanghai and met Xi.
