Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni told
reporters on Tuesday that during her meeting with Chinese
President Xi Jinping the previous day "we surely were quite
clear in discussing the issue" of China's support for Russia,
"trying to reason together on the nature of everyone's
interests".
"I think that China during this phase has no interest in
supporting Russian industrial capacity, even though as we know
it doesn't intervene directly - it is evident that this creates
friction because we have written this in every possible and
imaginable way and we have stressed it and I hope it will become
clear that this nation can really play a key role", Meloni said.
She noted that President Xi said on Monday that "China always
works for peaceful cohabitation between populations - now I
would like for steps to be taken in this direction".
