ROME, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) — Visiting Italian Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, called on the European country to cooperate with China to make new contributions to world peace and the progress of human civilization.
Wang Yi made the statement during a meeting with Italian President Sergio Mattarella, to whom he conveyed warm greetings from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
China values Italy's influence in Europe and the world, Wang Yi said. China is ready to cooperate with Italy to implement the consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, accelerate the implementation of the action plan to strengthen the comprehensive strategic partnership, and ensure more stable, sustainable, and fruitful bilateral relations, he emphasized.
Wang Yi expressed hope for the emergence of many modern-day "Marco Polos" who will serve as connecting links between different civilizations. He stated that the time-honored culture and deep history of China and Italy allow the two countries to approach their differences with an inclusive approach, wisely address contemporary challenges, and look farsightedly to the future of humanity.
According to Xi Jinping, all countries live in one global village and must overcome differences, adhere to the principle of broad consultation, shared contributions, and common benefits, and work together to build a community with a shared future for humanity, Wang Yi stated. To this end, the Chinese president put forward four global initiatives, he added.
Wang Yi emphasized that the Global Governance Initiative, recently proposed by the Chinese President, aims to consolidate and strengthen the UN's leadership, improve global governance through reform, and build a more equitable global governance system. The minister expressed hope that Italy will actively participate in implementing the principles of genuine multilateralism and cooperate with China in this area, making new contributions to global peace and the progress of human civilization.
In turn, S. Mattarella asked Wang Yi to convey his sincere greetings to the President of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping.
The President praised the positive results of the 12th joint meeting of the Italian-Chinese Intergovernmental Commission. He said China enjoys great prestige in the international community and is playing an increasingly important role, adding that Italy expects China to make a greater contribution to global peace and stability.
S. Mattarella agreed with the concept of a shared future for humanity and welcomed the Chinese President's important initiatives. They fully meet the needs of the international community and the aspirations of people in all countries, the President noted.
In addition, the parties exchanged views on issues such as the situation in the Middle East and the Ukrainian crisis.
During his visit, Wang Yi also held talks with Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Antonio Tajani. Together, they attended the 12th joint meeting of the China-Italy Intergovernmental Commission and met with journalists.
