Deputy Foreign Minister Theodoros Kassimis held talks in Athens on Thursday with his visiting Chinese counterpart Wu Hongbo, as the two reviewed the course of Greek-Sino relations, especially after the reciprocal visits of the two countries' presidents last year.

As it was ascertained, relations between Greece and China have been enhanced in all sectors, political, economic and cultural, following the signing of a Strategic Partnership Relationship by the prime ministers of the two countries in 2006.

Greece-China cooperation, according to a foreign ministry announcement, is based on "respect of steadfast principles and values, such as International Law and treaties, UN resolutions and support for world peace."
