Mr. Xu Chen, Chairman of the CCCEU, extends a warm and wholehearted welcome to PPA. He underscores the pivotal role played by PPA in advancing the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative. PPA's outstanding contributions in fostering mutual benefits, nurturing win-win partnerships, and fostering integrated development were commended.

PPA holds exclusive operational rights over the historic Piraeus Port in Greece, a maritime hub steeped in significance dating back to the 5th century BC. Leveraging their professional operational expertise, Piraeus Port serves as a crucial link connecting Greece to the rest of the world.

Piraeus Port has transformed into the premier container port in the Mediterranean, the third-largest cruise home port globally, the largest ferry port in Europe, the EMED hub for car transshipment, and a pivotal ship repair zone. These achievements have made a substantial impact on regional trade connectivity, the local economy, and tourism.
