ATHENS, Oct. 23 (Xinhua) -- China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin arrived in Greece's capital Athens Sunday afternoon for a 5-day visit to the debt-ridden eurozone country.
Since China and Greece established diplomatic ties in 1972, both countries have always respected each other, treated each other on an equal basis and cooperated sincerely, Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said in a written statement upon arrival.
In recent years, the two countries have deepened their mutual political trust, and have promoted mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields, Jia said.
