Greece and China promised in Crete on Thursday to further
promote their cooperation in various fields in a bid to push their
relations to a new high level.
During his meeting with Greek Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyannis,
visiting Chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National
People's Congress Wu Bangguo said that it is a common sense that
China and Greece should strengthen their traditionally friendly
ties.
He pledged that China is willing to deepen the cooperation in
every aspect, especially the cooperation and exchange on the
provincial and regional levels.
On her part, Bakoyannis stressed that Wu's successful visit in
Greece will facilitate the development of Greek-Sino comprehensive
strategic partnership, adding that Greece and China are able to
upgrade the bilateral relations in the fields of economy and trade,
tourism and regional cooperation to a new high.
Wu, who arrived in Athens on Monday for a four-day official and
goodwill visit in Greece, will conclude his visit here on Friday
and leave for Russia.
