Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is
set to meet Italian counterpart Luigi Di Maio in Rome Tuesday as
he embarks on a European tour.
The two minister's talks will range from China's Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI), or 'New Silk Road', to post-COVID scenarios,
diplomatic sources said.
The talks also come amid a general climate of tension between
China and the United States.
Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party and the Radicals will
protest Wang's visit.
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Nathan Law will attend the
protest.
US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin phoned Chinese Deputy
Premier Liu He on trade issues.
He said "both sides intend to ensure the success" of trade
talks.
