新華社北京7月29日電（記者孫奕）7月29日下午，國家主席習近平在北京釣魚臺國賓館會見來華進行正式訪問的義大利總理梅洛尼。

習近平指出，中國和義大利分處古絲綢之路兩端，兩國歷史悠久的友好交往曾為東西方文明交流互鑒和人類社會發展進步作出重要貢獻，以和平合作、開放包容、互學互鑒、互利共贏為核心的絲路精神是中意兩國的共同財富。當前，世界百年變局加速演進，各國相通、團結則共進，封閉、分裂則各退。中意兩國要秉持和弘揚絲路精神，從歷史維度、戰略高度和長遠角度看待和發展雙邊關係，推動中意關係行穩致遠。

習近平強調，中意關係健康穩定發展，符合兩國和兩國人民共同利益。儘管當前國際形勢持續深刻演變，中方重視和發展好中意關係的意願沒有改變，中意關係合作共贏的本質沒有改變，兩國人民的友好情誼沒有改變。雙方要賡續友好交往傳統，繼續相互理解和尊重各自選擇的發展道路。中意兩國産業優勢互補，互為機遇，雙方應該堅持相互開放合作。中國共産黨二十屆三中全會剛剛閉幕，中方將不斷推進高水準對外開放，為中國式現代化注入強勁動力，也為同義大利等各國擴大合作帶來新的機遇。中方願同意方推動經貿投資、工業製造、科技創新、第三方市場等傳統合作優化升級，探討電動汽車、人工智慧等新興領域合作。中方歡迎義大利企業來華投資，願進口更多義大利優質産品，希望意方同樣為中國企業赴意發展提供公平、透明、安全、非歧視的營商環境。雙方要珍視文明互鑒成果，推動文化傳承和創新雙向互促，促進兩國民心相親。中方支援意方舉辦2026年冬奧會，希望意方為中國公民赴意提供簽證便利措施。

習近平強調，在經濟全球化時代，唯有堅持全球産業鏈供應鏈開放合作，才會帶來共贏發展。中國堅持走和平發展道路，從不追求霸權，願同各國分享發展機遇。希望意方理解和支援中國發展理念，為推動中歐加強對話合作、促進中歐關係積極穩定發展發揮建設性作用。

梅洛尼表示，很高興在2022年11月巴厘島會面後應約來華訪問。今年恰逢意中建立全面戰略夥伴關係20週年和馬可·波羅逝世700週年。意中兩國作為文明古國，一直彼此欣賞、相互借鑒。當前國際形勢深刻演變，中國作為重要大國，在應對全球性挑戰方面作用不可替代。意方高度重視中國的國際地位和作用，願意傳承源遠流長的絲路精神，同中方發展更為緊密、更高水準的夥伴關係，開闢意中全面戰略夥伴關係新篇章，為世界和平與進步作出新貢獻。意方堅持奉行一個中國政策，希望同中方加強對話合作，挖掘更多潛力，深化兩國經貿投資、電動汽車、人工智慧等領域合作，密切人文交流，推動更多義大利産品進入中國市場。意方反對“脫鉤斷鏈”和保護主義，願為推動歐盟同中國關係走深走實發揮積極作用。

雙方發表《中華人民共和國和義大利共和國關於加強全面戰略夥伴關係的行動計劃（2024－2027年）》。

BEIJING, July 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni here on Monday.

Noting that China and Italy are at the two ends of the ancient Silk Road, Xi said the time-honored friendly exchanges between the two countries have made significant contributions to the overall exchanges and mutual learning between Eastern and Western civilizations, and to the progress of humanity.

The Silk Road spirit of peace and cooperation, openness and inclusiveness, mutual learning and mutual benefit is a shared treasure of China and Italy, Xi said.

He said that amid accelerating global changes unseen in a century, countries will either progress together through connectivity and unity, or retreat separately through closure and division. China and Italy should uphold and promote the Silk Road spirit, view and develop bilateral relations from a historical dimension, strategic height and long-term perspective, and push their relations to go steady and far.

Xi said the healthy and stable development of China-Italy relations is in line with the common interests of both countries and their peoples. Despite the ongoing profound changes in the international landscape, China's commitment to valuing and developing relations with Italy has not changed, the nature of win-win cooperation of China-Italy relations has not changed, and the friendship between the two peoples has not changed, he added.

Xi called on both sides to carry on the tradition of friendly exchanges, and continue to understand and respect each other's development paths. Noting that China and Italy have complementary industrial advantages and represent opportunities for each other, Xi said both sides should adhere to mutual openness and cooperation.

The third plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China Central Committee has just concluded, and China will continue to promote high-level opening up, inject strong impetus into Chinese modernization, and bring new opportunities for expanding cooperation with Italy and other countries, he added.

Xi said China is willing to work with Italy to optimize and upgrade traditional cooperation in trade and investment, manufacturing, technological innovation and other fields, and to explore cooperation in emerging areas such as electric vehicles and artificial intelligence.

He noted that China welcomes Italian companies to invest in China and is willing to import more quality products from Italy. It is hoped that Italy will also provide a fair, transparent, secure and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese companies to develop in Italy, he added.

Both sides should cherish the achievements of cultural exchange and mutual learning, promote cultural inheritance and innovation, and enhance amity between the two peoples, he said.

Xi said China supports Italy in hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics and hopes that Italy will provide convenient visa measures for Chinese citizens traveling to Italy.

Xi stressed that in a world of economic globalization, only by upholding openness and cooperation in global industrial and supply chains can win-win development be achieved. China adheres to the path of peaceful development and never seeks hegemony, and is willing to share development opportunities with other countries, he added.

It is hoped that Italy understands and supports China's development concept and plays a constructive role in promoting dialogue and cooperation between China and Europe, and in actively promoting the positive and stable development of China-EU relations, said Xi.

Meloni said that as countries with an ancient civilization, Italy and China have always appreciated and learned from each other. The current international situation is undergoing profound changes, and China -- as an important major country -- plays an irreplaceable role in addressing global challenges.

Italy attaches great importance to China's international standing and role, and is willing to carry forward the time-honored Silk Road spirit, foster a closer and higher-level partnership with China, open up a new chapter for the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries, and make new contributions to world peace and progress, she said.

Meloni said Italy adheres to the one-China policy and hopes to strengthen dialogue and cooperation with China, tap the potential for cooperation, deepen bilateral cooperation in such fields as trade, investment, electric vehicles and artificial intelligence, strengthen people-to-people exchanges, and encourage more Italian products to enter the Chinese market.

Italy opposes decoupling and protectionism, and is willing to play a positive role in further deepening and consolidating EU-China relations, Meloni said.

The two sides issued a 2024-2027 action plan on strengthening their comprehensive strategic partnership. ■
