Italy's Meloni seeks to relaunch cooperation with China

ai generated text

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, marking her first official visit to the country since taking office. During the five-day visit, Meloni signed a three-year plan to strengthen economic cooperation between Italy and China. This move comes after Italy's decision to exit China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) last year, citing that the massive investment scheme had not yielded the expected results. Despite this, Meloni described China as an "important interlocutor" in managing global tensions. Italy and China also signed an industrial cooperation memorandum, with Rome seeking to improve trade ties with Beijing.

    1. China and Italy should adopt a win-win mentality and increase trade and investment cooperation, making cooperation even more dynamic and sustainable.

    1. Above all we need the system of rules in which we operate to remain stable.
    2. There is growing insecurity at an international level and I think that China is inevitably a very important interlocutor to address all these dynamics.
    3. Both sides uphold tolerance, mutual trust and mutual respect, with each choosing its own development path.

    1. Every country which is a [BRI] member knows that China is first and they are second and I don't think Italy as a G7 member wanted to be grouped together with Russia, Pakistan or Sri Lanka.
    2. Without BRI [membership] Meloni is coming to China at a different level of engagement - less as a vassal and more as a partner.
