            The Japan Times will publish an extensive article about Greece and the possibility of collaborating on an academic level with the pioneer scientists at the Agricultural University of Athens. The article, which will be published in The Japan Times in the third quarter of 2020, coinciding with the Olympic Games in Tokyo, will refer to the excellent relations between Greece and Japan - the two countries have developed strong diplomatic bonds over one hundred and twenty years. In this way, Greece through the Agricultural University of Athens will promote the best it has to offer at all levels including education, culture, tourism, commerce and, most importantly, brain power.
