Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is currently on a five-day state visit to China, which is her first to, in her words, “relaunch” bilateral ties. What issues are high on the agenda of Meloni's visit? How should the two countries navigate through the ever-more complex geopolitical landscape and strengthen their cooperation? And what does the visit say about the future trajectory of China-EU relations?

Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Michele Geraci, former Undersecretary of State of the Ministry of Economic Development of Italy; Cui Hongjian, professor at the Academy of Regional and Global Governance of Beijing Foreign Studies University; and Francesco Sisci, senior researcher at Renmin University of China.
