Doukas pledged to convey Ugwuh's message to the Greek business community during the two-day conference, which opens Monday, attended by ministers from 11 African countries and some of the largest Greek entrepreneurs, and stressed that "Greece must turn its interest to the Black Continent", which afforded "very large opportunities".
