Wang said China-Italy relations have maintained a good momentum of development. Both countries are ancient civilizations and they can look at each other’s development with an inclusive attitude and accept each other’s differences peacefully.
He said China stands ready to import more high-quality products from Italy, and hopes Italy will provide an open, fair and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies.
Italy’s advanced technology, combined with China’s mega-sized market, will provide lasting impetus for mutually beneficial cooperation between the two countries, he added.
The Chinese minister said the two sides should support each other in their respective hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Milan Winter Olympics, and take care of each other’s core interests, expressing hope that Italy will continue to adhere to the one-China policy.
