Guess who's in Beijing? 🇮🇹 Italian President Sergio Mattarella just touched down in the Chinese capital for an exciting six-day state visit! ✈️
First stop? The stunning Summer Palace 🌞🏰—the Chinese mainland's largest imperial park and a total must-see. Talk about making the most of your first day!
This visit is kind of a big deal. It's the 20th anniversary of the China-Italy comprehensive strategic partnership, plus it's been 700 years since Marco Polo—the OG explorer—journeyed to China along the ancient Silk Road 🧭🌏. Talk about history repeating itself!
Mao Ning, spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, shared that China is super ready to team up with Italy to boost practical cooperation and get more people-to-people exchanges going 🤝🌐.
Fun fact: This isn't Mattarella's first rodeo in China. He was last here in February 2017. Welcome back, Mr. President! 🎉
