The exhibition “Tota Italia: Origins of a Nation” was held in China, as well as events celebrating the China-Italy Year of Culture and Tourism, which President Xi noted vividly reflected the friendship and exchanges between the two nations.
In recent years, China and Italy have collaborated to address COVID-19. China and Italy are comprehensive strategic partners with deep roots in one another’s respective ancient civilizations and a wide range of shared values. It is crucial for the two nations to uphold their longstanding friendship, comprehend and support one another’s fundamental goals and pressing issues, and look for points of agreement.
President Xi emphasized his desire for the two countries to use the China-Italy Government Committee and other sector-specific dialogue structures to examine the possibility of collaboration in fields like high-end manufacturing, sustainable energy, aviation and aerospace, and third-party markets. China encourages high-level opening up and plans to increase its imports of high-quality Italian goods.
