Rome, October 8 (Xinhua) – Chinese-Italian cooperation is full of bright spots and is characterized by mutual benefit, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said in Rome on Wednesday.
Wang Yi, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the announcement during the 12th joint meeting of the China-Italy Intergovernmental Commission, which he attended alongside Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Antonio Tajani. In his closing remarks, the Chinese Foreign Minister praised the achievements of Chinese-Italian cooperation in various fields.
Wang Yi noted that since last year, China and Italy have been actively implementing the important consensus reached by the two countries' leaders. Taking advantage of the 55th anniversary of the establishment of Chinese-Italian diplomatic relations, celebrated this year, as an opportunity, the two countries are steadily expanding practical cooperation in various fields, with many highlights.

China unilaterally introduced a trial visa-free regime for Italian citizens and will continue to extend it, inviting even more Italian friends to take a "spontaneous trip to China."
