STORYLINE:
Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao continued his visit to Greece on Sunday, travelling to the Acropolis in Athens for a tour of the ancient site.
Wen arrived in Greece on Saturday at the start of a weeklong tour of European countries, vowing to double
trade with Greece within five years, and to buy Greek bonds when the crisis-hit country returns to international markets.
Wen said China also planned to provide a five (b) billion dollar credit line to Greek shipowners to help boost the purchase of Chinese-built vessels.
Greece is eager to attract more foreign investment after mounting debts forced it to seek bailout loans this year from EU countries and the International Monetary Fund.
Chinese shipping and transport giant Cosco Group has said it wants to expand operations in Greece, after securing a one (b) billion dollar concession deal last year for the country's largest container-terminal port.
Greece's Socialist government, slashing costs but struggling to meet revenue targets, recently created a Cabinet post dedicated to attracting foreign investment, and has promised to slash bureaucracy.
On Monday, Wen will fly to Brussels to attend a China-European Union summit and other meetings before travelling on to Italy and Turkey.
