The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has begun an important state visit to China, accompanied by his daughter Laura. This trip represents a crucial opportunity to strengthen ties between Italy and China, two nations with rich and complex histories and cultures. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, is present to support the diplomatic talks that will take place in the coming days.
Visit details
Mattarella’s visit will last five days and began with a significant stop at the Summer Palace in Beijing. This historic imperial residence not only offers a glimpse into the majesty of Chinese culture, but also marks the beginning of important diplomatic negotiations.
Minister Tajani’s presence underlines the strategic importance of the talks scheduled for Friday, November 8, with Chinese President Xi Jinping. These meetings could have a significant impact on bilateral relations.
