“Greece is now in a better position than ever before to become a valuable partner for China,” Prime Minister Antonis Samaras underlined on Friday in an interview with Chinese news agency Xinhua.

Samaras stressed that Greece is “an island of stability” in an area that is experiencing a series of destabilizing geopolitical events and added that the country is now unleashing its growth potential.

“We are now in a much better position – better than ever – to become a valuable partner for China in our part of the world,” Samaras stressed.
