[02] China Radio's Greek website
China Radio International's (CRI) Greek website, already online, now
provides Greek speakers information on China, participants at a press
conference on Friday at the Athens 9.84 radio station said.
Cooperation between the Athens municipal radio station and CRI was
launched in November 2007 when the Athens 9.84 chairman and an Athens
International Radio (AIR) 104.4 delegation visited Beijing and met with
CRI President Wang Gengnian.
Following an agreement with CRI, AIR 104.4 broadcasts a satellite
programme each night online at >http://greek.cri.cn/< through a
specially modified programme in the Chinese language to meet the needs
of Chinese nationals living in foreign countries, including Greece. The
endeavor was been positively received by the Chinese community in
Greece and those learning the Chinese language.
