[01] Agreement with Cosco only the head of the dragon, says Chinese
envoy to Greece Zou Xiaoli
ANA/"The agreement with Cosco is only the head of the dragon. The hands,
the feet and the body will follow" said Chinese ambassador to Greece
Zou Xiaoli speaking to ANA on Sunday.
The Chinese envoy underlined that "the importance of Cosco project for
Piraeus port does not only refer to the Greek-Chinese cooperation in the
port but is also a symbol of mutual trust and China's confidence in the
Greek market".
Zou called Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras' visit to the Chinese
capital 'a landmark' adding that the Greek-Chinese relations are
entering in a new era and it is a very good opportunity for their further
broadening through cooperation, "the prospects lie before us" he said.
He said that Tsipras' visit also "contributes in the mutual understanding,
upgrades Greece's image and promotes Greece's position in the Chinese
diplomacy and in parallel promotes the cooperation".
According to Zou "there is a lot of energy for cooperation between Greece
and China in all sectors, not only in the trade but also in culture and
science" and after the signing of the agreement with Cosco on April
8, he has been the recipient of dozens of applications from Chinese
delegations who seek cooperation with Greece.
