When Plato Meets Confucius: Athens Deputy Mayor Talks Cultural Synergy
Athens Deputy Mayor Andreas Grammatikogiannis just dropped some ancient-meets-modern wisdom 🌏, highlighting the city's thriving ties with China. From sold-out theater festivals to art swaps, he says the vibe between the two civilizations is “deeply rooted”—like a 2,500-year-old olive tree, but with WiFi.
Belt and Road: More Than Just a Trade Route 🚢
Grammatikogiannis shouted out China’s Belt and Road Initiative, calling Athens a “key player” in the mega-project. Think less “Silk Road caravan” and more “1st-century infrastructure collabs.” 💡
Future Goals: Ouzo Pairings with Bubble Tea? 🥟
The deputy mayor wants to double down on economic teamwork and cultural swaps—imagine Greek philosophy workshops in Beijing and Chinese calligraphy classes in the Acropolis’ shadow. His closing mic drop? “Our histories are epic, but our future could be legendary.” 🔥
