/ world today news/ Recently, the media reported that Italy is considering not extending the agreement with China on the joint construction of “One Belt, One Road” and hopes that this will not hinder cooperation with China.
In this regard, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that over the past 5 years, the volume of Sino-Italian trade has increased by 42%, reaching nearly 80 billion US dollars last year. At the same time, Italy has become the most popular tourist destination for Chinese tourists in Europe. Some powers are maliciously speculating on the normal cooperation and exchange between Beijing and Rome. This is not beneficial to either side.
Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative, nearly 420,000 jobs have been created in participating countries over the past 10 years. A World Bank report shows that in the medium and long term, nearly 40 million people around the world will be lifted out of poverty through the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative. China is ready to work together with these countries to pursue high-quality and sustainable growth and contribute to cultural exchange, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
