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 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.
