CRI听力:Greek PM Hopes China More Involved in Recovery

Greece's Prime Minister says he hopes the Chinese government can play a bigger role in his country's recovery process.

Antonis Samaras has made the comments as part of a speech at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences here in Beijing.

"Whatever have already worked in our relations so far, we can now speed it up, expand it, build on it. Whatever has not worked, we can fix it and we can make it happen."

He's here trying to convince Chinese businesses to expand their investment in Greece, particularly in the field of basic infrastructure construction and logistics.

Samaras contends Greece can become an important logistics hub for Chinese businesses in Europe.

"We are also in the process of discussing plans for building a large airport hub from China to Europe and northern Africa, or planning a privatization for a modern Venizelos airport in Athens."

Samaras is on a 5-day visit to China.
