China to enhance cooperation with Greece

China's development will provide broader space for China-Greece cooperation, a visiting Chinese official has said.

China's growth will also bring its comprehensive strategic partnership with Greece to a higher level, said Ma Biao, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

Ma, who is also vice president of the Chinese People's Association for Peace and Disarmament, visited Greece from Sunday to Wednesday at the invitation of the World Peace Council.

During the visit, Ma and his delegation have met with Greek Parliament Speaker Nikos Voutsis, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Greece Dimitris Koutsoumpas and General Secretary of the World Peace Council Thanasis Pafilis.

Ma also briefed them on the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Appreciating Ma's introduction on the latest situation in China, Voutsis and others spoke highly of the CPC's development initiatives featuring innovation, coordination, environment-friendliness and openness.

They expressed the hope that the initiatives will provide opportunities for the two nations to expand their cooperation in politics, economy, tourism and culture. Endi
