国内英语资讯:Xi calls for strengthening China-Greece practical cooperation

For his part, Mitsotakis said that China is a great ancient civilization and plays a decisive role in promoting world peace and development.

The achievements of China's economic development are unique and can be called a miracle of human society, he said, noting that China's further opening-up will provide more opportunities for all countries, including Greece.

Greece-China cooperation is of strategic significance, and the Greek people thank China for its valuable assistance during the financial crisis, the prime minister said.

He pledged that Greece will continue to firmly support China on issues concerning China's core interests, and Greece will take an active part in the joint construction of the Belt and Road to build the Piraeus Port into the largest port in Europe and promote Eurasian connectivity.

Greece hopes to become a gateway for China to enter the European market and welcomes more Chinese businesses to invest and start businesses in Greece, which will strongly promote economic growth and local employment, he said.

He also expressed the hope that the two sides will strengthen exchanges and cooperation in shipping, energy, e-commerce, culture, education, tourism and other fields.

He emphasized that Greece disagrees with the opinion that CEECs-China cooperation will divide Europe, and it will remain committed to such cooperation and play a positive role in promoting the overall EU-China relationship.
