ATHENS Baker Mayfield Jersey , Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Greek President Prokopis
Pavlopoulos praised Sino-Greek ties on Tuesday when he paid a visit to an
exhibition of ancient Chinese science and technology at Herakleidon museum just
opposite the Acropolis hill in Athens.
The exhibition "Ancient Chinese Science and Technology" is for the first time hosted in Greece as part of the Greece-China 2017 Year of Cultural Exchanges and
Cooperation in Creative Industries.
From Sept. 23 until April 29, 2018, visitors of Herakleidon museum can have the chance to appreciate 90 exhibits from the China Museum of Science and
Technology (CMST) in Beijing.
The Greek president toured the museum on Tuesday, and praised Chinese civilization's achievements in technology and science.
Speaking to Chinese Ambassador in Greece Zou Xiaoli and the museum's founder and president Paul Firos who welcomed him at the exhibition, he noted how
impressed the Westerners were when they discovered Chinese civilization
centuries ago.
"What one of the greatest Western philosophers at the time, Pascal said when China was
discovered Cleveland

referring to a classic remark made by 17th century French scientist and thinker
Blaise Pascal.
On his part, Zou said when the Chinese studied in the 17th century western mathematics and geography originating from Greece, they also acquired valuable
knowledge and furthered the development of science and technology.
The CMST exhibition hosted at the Athens museum covers disciplinary fields from
mathematics Jessie

science, medical science, pharmacy and engineering technology.
Through models visitors learn about pioneering Chinese inventions, such as the first seismograph (132 A.D.), ancient farming
tools Billy

approximately, before the equivalent European one, and many others.
The Greek president showed in particular interest in the demonstrations of paper making,
printing Cincinnati

Greek physicist who was his guide on Tuesday told Xinhua.
Pavlopoulos comes from Kalamata, a city in southern Greece, which has a long tradition in silk production in Greece.
When he received a model of a 3rd century BC Chinese loom from ambassador Zou on behalf of CMST the Greek president said he was moved.
He recalled how as a child he was watching his mother making fabrics before referring to the great prospects of the new Silk Road.
Greeks and Chinese created two of the most ancient and great civilizations in the history of mankind and today are working closer than ever efficiently in
many
sectors Anthony

"I wish and I hope that the great dynamic of Sino-Greek relations today will further continue and develop also in the field of culture. Exhibitions like
this, as well as the one which will follow in Beijing, are showing the way," he
stressed.
Under the agreement the two museums reached, from Nov. 1 to spring 2018 the CSTM will host the exhibition "EUREKA. Science, Art and Technology of the
Ancient
Greeks Roquan

the Association for the Study of Ancient Greek Technology.
"We believe that thanks to this exhibition the ties between the two countries will get stronger," Firos said presenting the Greek president with a
commemorative plaque for his visit to the exhibition.
The Herakleidon Museum, a privately-funded and non-profit organization, has been bringing art, education, and culture to the Greek public since 2004. Based
on its philosophy of

DHAKA Chicago Bears Jersey , June 19 (Xinhua) -- A leading Chinese company has signed an
agreement to lay a dual-gauge track on the capital Dhaka-adjacent Narayanganj
district route to increase Bangladesh Railway's capacity nearly fourfold.
Power Construction Corporation of China Limited signed the construction contract with the Bangladeshi government on Monday in the capital Dhaka.
Commercial Manager of Power Construction Corporation of China Limited Zhang Peiliang and Additional Director General (infrastructure) of Bangladesh Railway
Kazi Mohammad Rafiqul Alam signed the agreement on behalf of their respective
sides.
The Bangladeshi government in January 2015 gave the final go-ahead to the project of about a rail link from Dhaka to Narayanganj district, about 20 km
away from the capital.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by June 2019.
The total project cost would be met through the Bangladeshi government's own funds.
Chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council in January 2015 approved the 3.79-billion-taka
(470-million-U.S. dollar) project.
Once the track is laid, Bangladesh Railway will be able to transport nearly 100,000 passengers on the route every day against its current capacity of 23,000
commuters.
Under the project Ian
Thomas Jersey , a dual-gauge track will be laid parallel to the existing
meter-gauge track.
Seventy-six trains would run on the route every day after completion of the project. At present, 32 trains ply the route.
