Xi Jinping: "I agree with the return of the Parthenon Sculptures"
"Not only do I agree with the return of the Parthenon Sculptures but you will have our support, as we too have our own Chinese cultural items abroad and are trying to return them to their homeland," Chinese President Xi Jinping told Prokopis Pavlopoulos. .

This statement was made by the President of China in front of the Caryatids at the Acropolis Museum, where he toured for an hour today. At this point, in the center of the Museum, as described by the Greek President, Mr. Pavlopoulos called for the support of the Chinese counterpart for the return of the sculptures from the British Museum: "The place of the sculptures is here and not in the British Museum. They keep them illegally. We ask for your support,” he said.
