Italy has formalized the one-on-one (land and sea silk road) project that the Chinese government has ambitiously pursued despite Western concerns over China's expansion policy.

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who met with Chinese President Shijiazhuang during a state visit to Rome at the prime minister's prime minister today, held a signing ceremony on a one-on-one basis.

Italy has become the first country to join one of the seven major countries.

In the meantime, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Europe, Eastern Europe, Greece, Portugal and other non-mainstream countries, the one-to-one way to expand the European advanced countries.

One-on-one, called modern-day silk road, is a Chinese-led initiative to build an economic belt linking trade and transportation networks around the world, including Asia, Europe and South America.

Italy and China signed a memorandum of understanding on a one-on-one basis, as well as signing of about 10 deals in energy, steel and other business areas.

One-on-one details of the MOU and detailed contracts between the two businesses are not immediately known, but local press reports that the contract is worth 5 billion euros.

The two leaders expressed their consciousness of Western concerns such as the United States and the EU regarding their participation as one-on-one in Italy. "Investment and trade should not be one-sided, but two-way".
