- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Greece’s status-quo was upgraded after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ visit to Beijing for the “Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation”, Deputy Economy and Development Minister Stergios Pitsiorlas told the press on Monday.
“At the opening and closing of the Forum, the Greek prime minister’s role was very important […] It was a great success and proof that Greece’s status quo is upgraded after this participation in the Forum,” he said.
Pitsiorlas said the three-year action plan signed between Greece and China on infrastructure projects gives the country a significant role in China’s "One Belt-One Road" strategy.
“Greece is a crucial part for the development of this strategy,” he said, adding the plan includes cooperation in infrastructure projects in transport, energy and telecommunications, which means Greece will have to form a package of proposals that will be in line with this strategy.
