Thirdly, win-win is the sustainer. China's investments in Greece have not only helped the European country recover faster from its crisis, but also facilitated China's cooperation with other European countries.
Bilateral cooperation has been increasingly fruitful. Exports from Greece to China reached 564 million U.S. dollars last year, rising by 31.2 percent year-on-year. And in the first half of 2019, bilateral trade between China and Greece reached 4.14 billion dollars, up by 21.4 percent year-on-year.
China has become one of Greece's biggest investors in recent years. The Chinese-invested flagship project Piraeus Port has survived bankruptcy and become the largest container port in the Mediterranean.
Both the Chinese and the Greek sides hold high expectations for Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Greece, during which the two countries will strengthen their comprehensive strategic partnership, draw a blueprint for the development of bilateral ties, and sign cooperation documents on investment and education as well as commercial agreements in such fields as ports, finance and energy.
As the first visit by a Chinese head of state since 2008, Xi's trip to Greece follows the second China International Import Expo (CIIE), which is hailed by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis as an excellent opportunity to showcase the strong Greece-China relationship despite global uncertainties.
In a signed article titled "Let Wisdom of Ancient Civilizations Shine Through the Future" published Sunday on Greek newspaper Kathimerini (The Daily) ahead of his visit, Xi hailed the two countries as two great civilizations that have much in common to offer each other, understand each other better and always stand by each other.
