"China today is an important country on the international stage, being a nation highly focused on the fields of technology, information technology, and mechanics. I believe that the Sino-Italian relationship can be further strengthened by the efforts not only of the Italian government but also of the entire European Community through the Belt and Road Initiative. This will allow us to enhance our relations with China even more commercially and culturally."

Li Xikui, vice president of the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, said that the exhibition aims to reveal the Chinese civilization to the Italian audience, fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding.

The exhibition, co-organized by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, the Government of Anyang City, the National Museum of Chinese Writing, and the China-Italy Association, will later tour across Italy.
