ROME (ITALPRESS) – “This way of standing before one another is a fruitful method, it leads to the construction of a common heritage. It is a reflection, an attitude, that pushes to evade temptations of anachronistic returns to a world of opposing blocs. Italians, founding members of the European Union, are advocates of the importance of aggregative phenomena among countries that share interests or sensibilities. But not opposed to others.” Thus the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, speaking at the Italy-China Cultural Forum in the presence of the President of the Republic of China, Xi Jiping.
“On the contrary, a constructive interlocution should always be preserved, no matter how distant or different the others may be, without raising unjustified fences. This is the meaning of multilateralism, based on rules that are certain, shared and binding for all. It requires good faith and good will, and convinced adherence to basic norms of coexistence. For example, the norm that prohibits the use — and even the mere threat — of force in relations between states,” he added.
