Guangzhou's Nansha District held a promotion event in Athens on November 3, 2026, as part of the China-Greece Sports and Culture Exchange Week. Themed "Across Mountains and Seas, Forge a Shared Future," the event showcased Nansha's development and cooperation opportunities to Greek and other international guests.

Ouyang Jianhua, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Guangzhou Nansha District Committee and head of its Publicity Department, structured his speech around three themes: ocean, sports and cooperation. He described Nansha as the geographic center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

He noted that more than 2,000 years ago, the Maritime Silk Road linked China with the Mediterranean region of Greece, and that ports, shipping routes, industries and culture keep that connection alive today. He invited guests to visit Nansha to see its automated container terminal and driverless taxis, watch international tennis and try Lingnan flavors—and to build a shared future with Nansha.
