Italy and China could expand cooperation in culture, tourism and sports, said Lorenzo Riccardi, CFO of the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce (CICC).
He made the remarks in an interview with Xinhua while attending the 12th Central China Investment and Trade Exposition in Taiyuan, capital of north China's Shanxi Province.
Riccardi said he has traveled to all the 34 provincial-level administrative regions across China.
He said China is opening up wider and embracing foreign investment at a higher level by holding investment fairs and exhibitions and establishing free trade zones.
