Mattarella visit to boost Beijing-Rome ties

China Daily  

SONG CHEN/CHINA DAILY Italian President Sergio Mattarella's state visit to China less than four months after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited the country underscores the importance both countries attach to bilateral relations. While during Meloni's visit, the two countries signed a 2024-27 action plan for strengthening their comprehensive strategic partnership and fostering pragmatic cooperation across various fields, Mattarella's six-day visit, which concludes on Tuesday, focused on reinforcing the traditional friendship and political trust between the two countries, apart from expanding cultural exchanges. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Italy, as well as the 700th anniversary of the death of Marco Polo, a pioneer of cultural exchanges between the two countries. When meeting with representatives of the China-Italy cultural cooperation organization and attending the discussions of university presidents, Mattarella said the story of Marco Polo's stay in China and his exchanges with Emperor Kublai Khan and Chinese scholars laid the foundation of mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations.
