For Shi, the progress in Southeast Europe is clear and Greece is an excellent case study of beneficial collaboration in the context of the BRI.
"In terms of Greece I think also is a very typical example of the cooperation. Now we know the very famous Piraeus port. I think this is a very important progress in Europe and this is a very good example for the BRI," he said.
"Piraeus port is a model, is a successful model between China and Greece. I think it is a model for other countries," Xu also underlined on his part.
While cooperation in business is being promoted by the BRI, exchanges in the spheres of culture and people are also being boosted.
In addition to the increased Chinese investment, tourism and people-to-people exchange also expanded, which have helped bridge the distance between the two countries, Shi explained, referring also to his personal experience.
As a professor at Tsinghua University, he saw very few Greek students and very few exchanges with Greek universities in the days before the BRI. But things have changed over the past five years, during which links between the two countries have been strengthened and a Greek foundation has funded a students' exchange program. Now Tsinghua has seen more and more Greek students, while many Chinese choose Greece as their study abroad destination.
