Today the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Luigi Di Maio, and the Minister of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, Wang Wentao,\u00a0have\u00a0co-chaired by video conference the 14th session of the Joint Italy\/China Economic Committee.<\/p>\n

Minister Di Maio\u00a0has\u00a0expressed satisfaction for the positive trend of bilateral trade and Italian exports to China, which are up in the first half of this year by 20.3% and by 48.3% year-over-year (+2.6 billion Euros from January to June 2021, compared to the same period last year). An even higher percentage growth\u00a0has been\u00a0recorded for exports in the agri-food sector, up by 50% from January to July and\u00a0totaling\u00a0415 million Euros, based on which figures Italy now ranks third among the top suppliers of wine to the Chinese market this year.<\/p>\n

In view of\u00a0further\u00a0supporting\u00a0Italian exports, the Foreign Minister\u00a0has\u00a0announced the opening of a new ICE agency office in Chengdu and, together with Minister Wang,\u00a0has\u00a0launched\u00a0ad hoc<\/i>\u00a0working groups for agri-food products and the promotion of e-commerce. These measures will contribute to achieving the goal, mentioned by Minister Di Maio, of ensuring an increasingly balanced flow of goods and services between the two countries, thereby\u00a0contributing\u00a0to rebalance the trade balance.<\/p>\n

Minister Di Maio\u00a0has also\u00a0highlighted the importance of resuming direct flights between the two countries, an essential move towards revitalising the economy and tourism. The\u00a0Foreign Minister has also\u00a0emphasised the establishment of \u201cgreen corridors\u201d to facilitate the participation of foreign economic operators in trade fairs in Italy.<\/p>\n

Finally, the two\u00a0Ministers\u00a0have\u00a0discussed the issue of protecting intellectual property and the importance of ensuring the full implementation of the EU-China Agreement on Geographical Indications.<\/p>\n
