Massimo D’Alema Attends “Beijing’s Resilience” Panel at the Trento Economics Festival

On May 22, 2026, Massimo D’Alema, Co-Chair of the Europe-China Economic Cooperation and Development Council (ECECDC) and Former Prime Minister of Italy, and Ivan Cardillo, Secretary-General of the ECECDC, attended the “Beijing’s Resilience” Panel held during the Trento Economics Festival.

D’Alema noted that against the backdrop of multiple global uncertainties and slowing growth in international trade, China’s economy has maintained steady development and continued to create new opportunities for global economic growth. Cardillo participated in the panel discussion, sharing his views on deepening China-Europe economic and trade exchanges and expanding practical cooperation. Participants agreed that amid adjustments in the global trade landscape and the transformation of industrial structures, China and Europe could tap into cooperation potential in areas such as green and low-carbon transition, the digital economy, technological innovation, and global governance, thereby expanding space for mutually beneficial cooperation.
