国际英语资讯:Greek president praises B&R initiatives significance in promoting international cooperatio

"Building bridges from east to west is our common mission. People-to-people understanding is the foundation. SRCIC (Silk Road Chamber of International Commerce) hopes to engage more international organizations and business elites in the Belt and Road construction. Let's do this through joint consultation and joint communication, and strive to build a shared future for all," said Lu Jianzhong, founding Chairman of SRCIC while delivering a speech.

Founded in 2017 SRCIC is an international NGO, composed of national business chambers along the Silk Road, Lu explained, calling for more cooperation to improve international trade regulations and standards, to build a bridge for easy trade.

SRCIC supports the construction of the Silk Road over land, maritime, air and cyberspace, building bridges for greater connectivity and cooperation in many sectors, including cultural exchange which helps mutual understanding, he stressed.

Lu as well as Greek officials also underlined the importance of the Sino-Greek cooperation at Piraeus which sets a great example as a flagship project in the Belt and Road.

"As the economic power is shifting from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean Greece is no longer a country at the margins of Europe, but is at the center of the new economic world map... We aspire to become one of the key channels of regional cooperation between the entire Europe and China," Yorgos Katrougalos, Greece's Deputy Foreign Minister, said pointing to the successful bilateral collaboration in Greece's largest port in recent years.
