为加强双边关系，希腊与中国周四在雅典正式启动中希文化交流和文化产业合作年。

 

"Today with the official opening of the year of cultural cooperation, the two ancient civilizations are meeting in the present. The past is a seed for the future and cultural heritage a source of inspiration," Greek Culture Minister Lydia Koniordou said in her speech.

 

She warmly welcomed the opening of two exhibitions of Chinese art. One is dedicated² to the rich cultural heritage of the city of Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province and will run for three weeks, while the other which closes on Sunday features the 2022 Winter Olympic Games to be held in Beijing and Zhangjiakou, and the links between China and Greece, the birthplace of the Olympics.

 

The Greek minister emphasized how much Greece and China have in common despite the distance separating them and the mutual³ determination to have various cultural exchanges during this year and in the future.

 

"This is one more significant step in the strategic collaboration⁴ between the two countries," said Koniordou.

 

Greek and Chinese officials underlined the willingness of both sides to further strengthen their cultural ties, as the two countries have begun to deepen their strategic partnership⁵ in all sectors⁶.
