With peaceful development as our guide, let us sail together toward a common destiny for all humanity, and establish a world of lasting peace and prosperity.Τhe sea, with its vast and inclusive spirit, embraces continents and unites the world. Turning to the sea as a lever for prosperity is a converging choice for both China and Greece, two cradles of civilization in the East and the West. The brilliant launch of the Posidonia 2026 Exhibition offers an important platform for knowledge exchange, mutual learning and strengthening cooperation in the field of the global maritime economy.China and Greece are sincere friends and reliable partners, with their relationship governed by mutual respect, trust and mutual support. The successful cooperation in the Port of Piraeus is a typical example of mutual benefit, both for the two countries and for China-Europe cooperation under the “One Belt, One Road” Initiative. Within a decade, annual container handling skyrocketed from 680,000 to 5.6 million TEU, propelling port to 25th place in the world. Chinese investments, worth several billion euros, have created tens of thousands of jobs and significantly boosted public revenues, bringing tangible benefits to the Greek people.
