On the morning of July 5^th, Vice President SHI Yonghong met with Helen Polychronopoulou, President of Hellenic Marine Equipment Manufacturers and Exporters (HEMEXPO).

SHI Yonghong reviewed the practical cooperation with HEMEXPO in the past two years after MOU signing. SHI pointed that global economic and trade situation is not favorable for shipping industry, but it will become a very opportunity for industrial upgrading. When Greek economy revives, the bilateral cooperation will definitely boom.

Helen said Greece attaches great importance to cooperating with Chinese companies. And the members of HEMEXPO are also willing to cooperate with those members of CCCME who are interested in Greece. Helen also invited CCCME to lead business delegation to Greece.

SHI thanked Helen for inviting, and said will hold business mission to Greece at appropriate time in the second half of this year.
