(ANSA) - TRIESTE, JULY 08 - The Silk Road represents a great opportunity, but because the great project launched by Beijing does not represent an opportunity only for China and the countries geographically closest to you, "Europe and Italy must move , because there are opportunities and this is the time to make proposals ". The ex-Council President, Romano Prodi, convinced this morning at the webinar promoted by Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna, University of Genoa, Insubria and Trieste, in the context of the Prin project entitled "Belt and Road Initiative" .
Now, Prodi insists, what is needed is unity on a European level.
The space "for the Silk Road to bring concrete results" is there. "The times, says the former president of the Commission, are ripe, because China also has its needs". Now, he says, "what is needed is an active strategy. We Europeans must be more politically united". To do this, however, you need to get to the "prepared" tables and "revitalize the Viadella Seta", a project, remembers Prodi, who at the moment has produced a "very strong investment plan, but with Chinese-Chinese repercussions".
