The ancient Greek dramatist Aristophanes once wrote of the port of Piraeus: "People shouted to the crowd around the captain, buying leather, belts, POTS, or garlic and olive oil, nets of Onions, garlands, anchovies... The statue of Athena on the bow of the ship is gilded.

Recently, the reporter visited the important port of Piraeus in Greece, which is also an important node of the Belt and Road Initiative. China Cosco's investment gave Piraeus a new lease of life in 2009, when Greece's debt was high and the port's operations were in trouble. Savas Sanozidis, secretary of the board of directors of Piraeus Port Co., LTD., said: Without Chinese companies, Piraeus Port may disappear from the global maritime map. Today, the cooperation has become a Belt and Road success story. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
