Recently at the 20th G20 Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, Chinese premier Li Qiang met Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni to chart a fresh path for two-way opening up ✨🤝.
Li Qiang said the Chinese mainland is ready to align development strategies with Italy, aiming for more stable and productive ties. He highlighted plans to deepen connectivity in markets and industries, seeking balanced, high-quality growth in bilateral trade.
One highlight? Major platforms like the China International Import Expo and the China International Fair for Trade in Services will offer Italian companies bigger market access. In return, Italy is set to welcome more mainland businesses, ensuring a fair and transparent environment for overseas investors.
Beyond trade, Li invited stronger people-to-people exchanges in tourism, education, sports and youth programs. He stressed that easier cross-border travel can deepen mutual understanding and cultural vibes between both nations.
On the global stage, the Chinese mainland and Italy will team up in multilateral forums, from the United Nations to the G20, to boost multilateralism and reinforce international cooperation 🌍.
Meloni welcomed these moves, noting the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties and urging full use of the Italy-China Government Committee and Joint Economic Commission. She encouraged Italian firms to expand in the Chinese mainland, while inviting more Chinese companies to invest in Italy.
This collaboration marks a dynamic step for young entrepreneurs, students and travelers, as both sides open doors for business, culture and innovation. Stay tuned for more on this cross-continental partnership! 🌟
