Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni indicated today, Sunday, that good relations with China are possible even without her country being part of the "Belt and Road" initiative. In an interview with the daily newspaper "Il Messaggero," Meloni stated, "It is too early to speculate on Italy's decision regarding remaining in the project we signed in 2019, which drew criticism from Washington and Brussels." She added, "Our assessment is very precise and linked to many interests."
