The future of our world seems to require a new approach, inspired by figures like Marco Polo. In an era of heightened global tensions, the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has stressed the importance of fostering curiosity and mutual respect between nations. Only through open dialogue and mutual learning can we hope to address common challenges.
Mattarella shared his vision during an interview with Chinese television CGTN, highlighting how any message that promotes political, economic and commercial collaboration can contribute to strengthening peace.
Open markets and trade cooperation generate common interests, acting as an antidote to opposition and conflict. In this context, the President reiterated that initiatives that promote cultural exchanges and economic collaborations are essential for social development and the well-being of populations.
Mattarella also highlighted the many global challenges facing humanity, stressing that no country can do it alone.
It is paradoxical to note how, at a historical moment in which global harmony is needed, conflicts are instead intensifying. Challenges related to climate change, global health and the economy require a collective and coordinated response.
During his state visit to China, Mattarella described the relations between Italy and China as “excellent”. He recalled the importance of close visits between the leaders of the two countries as a sign of a relationship built on trust and mutual understanding. The president noted that the world is changing rapidly, presenting new challenges but also exciting opportunities. However, these transformations raise questions about the responsibilities in the use of new technologies. Concluding his visit in Beijing and moving on to other Chinese cities such as Hangzhou and Guangzhou, Mattarella leaves a clear message: only through unity and cooperation can we build a better future for all. In a complex global context, it is essential to work together to face the challenges of tomorrow.
