While in the capital, Tsipras also visited the Forbidden City and attended a wreath-laying ceremony at the Monument to the People's Heroes in Tian’anmen Square.

After his visit to Beijing, Tsipras left for Shanghai, where he will meet the mayor of the city, and top Chinese business leaders, including executives from the country’s online retail giant Alibaba, and one of China’s top investment companies, Fosun.

Tsipras will also visit with executives from COSCO, the Chinese shipping company that bought a major stake in a Greek port earlier this year.

The Greek Prime Minister will wrap up his five-day visit to China Wednesday.
