Xi Jinping says more bilateral¹ cooperation can be created through the Belt and Road Initiative.

"We are willing to work together with friendly Italian people to promote mutual² learning between different civilizations while adhering to win-win cooperation, so that the ancient Silk Road can be more vibrant³, and the people along the Silk Road can better share the fruit of common development."

The Chinese president is suggesting the two sides can increase cooperation in infrastructure⁴ construction, seaports⁵, logistics and maritime⁶ transportation, while also launching more projects under the Belt and Road Initiative.

We are willing to enhance cultural and people-to-people exchanges with Italy, and boost cooperation in sectors⁷ such as education, media, tourism and sports, in a bid to promote amity⁸ between the two peoples."

Xi Jinping says China also wants to work with the Italian side on issues including global governance, climate change and sustainable development.

For his part, Italian President Sergio Mattarella says his country supports the Belt and Road Initiative, which he says can help promote the interconnectivity between Italy and China.

"The ancient Silk Road is an important channel for both Chinese and Italy people to mutually understand, communicate and learn from each other. The Belt and Road Initiative is a road of bilateral exchanges, which boosts interconnectivity not only in terms of commodities, but also thoughts, talents and knowledge. The Belt and Road is a future-oriented initiative."

Mattarella says Italy wants to expand cooperation with China in areas such as trade, investment, science and technology.

He says Italy also supports China's position on safeguarding multilateralism and trade liberalization.
