Italian Foreign Ministry sources
on Friday denied reports Rome was willing to partially lift its
suspension of direct flights between Italy and China due to the
coronavirus epidemic.
"While reiterating the deep bond of friendship between Italy
and China, which has already been shown in various activities
launched by the Italian government to support the Asian country
in a complex, delicate moment, it is stated that the news
reported by the Chinese agency Xinhua about a resumption of
flights is groundless," the sources said.
