Political Relations

Greek-Chinese relations are at a very good level, as attested to by the frequent exchange of high-level visits. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang’s June 2014 visit promoted bilateral cooperation with China even further, not only on the political level, but also in the economic/trade and cultural sectors: The Strategic Partnership between the two countries was further deepened through the Joint Statement of the two countries’ leaders; a large number of trade agreements were signed, worth a total of over $6 billion; and an agreement was concluded on the reciprocal establishment of Cultural Centres in Greece and China.

The contractual framework, which is constantly being enriched, includes cooperation agreements in the sectors of economy, trade, science and technology, as well as in the social and cultural sectors. There is also a Greek-Chinese Friendship Committee in the Hellenic Parliament.
