Meloni, who has led a right-wing government since 2022, made the announcement during a meeting with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, as Rome seeks to improve trade ties with Beijing
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni vowed on Sunday to “relaunch” cooperation with China, signing a three-year action plan during her first official visit to Beijing since taking office.
Later in the day Meloni said that an industrial cooperation memorandum signed by Italy and China includes strategic industrial sectors such as electric mobility and renewables. On Sunday, Meloni also attended an Italy-China business forum, to which companies including Italian tyre-maker Pirelli, energy group ENI, defence group Leonardo, wine producers and several Italian luxury fashion groups such as Dolce & Gabbana were invited.
Meloni’s government said the deal had brought no benefits to Italy, whose trade with China - worth 66.8 billion euros in 2023 - is heavily tilted in Beijing’s favour. China is Italy’s biggest non-EU trading partner after the U.S. Speaking at the Business Forum, Meloni said the industrial cooperation memorandum signed by Italy and China “includes strategic industrial sectors such as electric mobility and renewables” and called on Beijing to share “the new frontiers of knowledge with its partners".
