意大利驻渝总领事马非同：“亚投行”让重庆企业积极与世界互动

□ 文/本刊记者 李静

记者：意大利对于加入亚投行有着怎样的考虑？

马非同：为了增进意大利与中国的联系，促进双方国际层面间的经济与商业交流，意大利已经决定主动与中国进行可持续发展项目间的合作，特别是在基础设施领域与电信领域。意大利作为欧洲第二，世界第五的制造强国，多年以来致力于开发吸引国际投资的新体系，以求将意大利高端的技术与卓越的工业带向全球。

在这种背景下，亚投行作为一个重要的对话平台，通过其金融、技术实力以及巧实力的组合，将会助推完善我们在生活质量的项目上的发展，尤其是生态可持续发展、粮食安全、基础设施智能化生态、高效运输、医疗卫生以及生物科技。（这些话题也使意大利在米兰2015世博会上成为世界的焦点）

记者：您认为亚投行成立后将为意大利与重庆之间的经贸合作带来怎样的改变和影响？你觉得重庆政府或重庆企业应如何来分析亚投行，如何从其中找到适合我们自己的投资路径或行业机遇？

马非同：亚投行的建立，实则是中国政府发展海陆新丝绸之路战略计划的一部分。重庆作为中国与亚洲国家区域一体化的一个重要中心和新丝绸之路的主要物流枢纽，我们认为此举十分重要，这可能对重庆市的社会经济发展意义重大。西南地区的企业，尤其是重庆地区的企业，将积极与世界进行互动，在工业、商业领域推进国际化项目。意大利作为古丝绸之路的终点，提出加入中国经济贸易一体化这一新战略，将会带来新的机遇；我们也欢迎中国企业家及投资者来这个历史文化渊源流长，工业及手工业同样发达的国家投资发展。

马非同：意大利将继续在其中扮演积极的重要的角色，将加强更加高效的互补性与欧系资金的投资。

记者：意大利总领事馆在意大利加入亚投行后，在推动意大利与重庆之间的合作领域上将有怎样的考虑？

马非同：当然，总领馆将继续促进重庆与意大利之间在各个领域项目的合作，希望负责建立连接新的重庆与欧洲之间国际铁路的公司能考虑在意大利开设分部，我们将努力使现有铁路线路与意大利的铁路线路直接相连，如今的中国市场充满活力与生机，我们希望更多的意大利企业、工厂与中国市场进行互动，特别是在西南地区。

Question: What considerations does ItaIy have in ascension to AIIB?

Answer: To enhance ties between Italy and China and reinforce economic and commercial exchanges internationally, Italy has decided to proactively partner with China for sustainable development projects, especially in infrastructure and telecommunications fields. As No.2 manufacturing power in Europe and No.5 in the world, Italy has been developing a new system to attract international investment in order to bring its high-end technologies and outstanding industries to the world.

Under such backdrop, AIIB as a key dialog platform can propel our projects of life quality enhancement through financial, technological and competence portfolios, especially in areas such as sustainable development, food security, infrastructure, smart ecology, efficient transportation, health care and bio-technology. (These topics also pull Italy to the limelight of the world during the Milan Expo in 2015.)

Question: What kind of change and impact do you think it wiII bring to the economic and trade cooperation between ItaIia and Chongqing after the estabIishment of Asian Investment Bank? How do you think the government or enterprises of Chongqing wiII make good use of the Asian Investment Bank to find our own path of investment or business opportunities?

Answer:The establishment of AIIB is actually a part of New Silk Road Initiative of the Chinese government. As a critical center of regional integration between China and Asian nations and a major logistics hub of New Silk Road, we believe this measure is quite crucial and may be very significant to Chongqing’s social and economic development. Enterprises in Southwest China, in Chongqing particularly, will be mobilized to join the world for interactions. More international programs will be rolled out in industrial and commercial fields. As the end point for the ancient Silk Road, Italy will usher in new opportunities by joining this new initiative of China’s economic and trade integration; we also welcome Chinese entrepreneurs and investors to invest and develop in Italy, which is a country of profound history and culture and equally highly evolved industry and handicraft.

Question: As an European country, what roIe does ItaIy pIay in AIIB?

Answer: Italy will continue play an active and important role and further buttress effective complementarities and European-capital investment.

Question: After joining the AIIB, what considerations does ItaIian ConsuIate GeneraI have in cooperative areas between ItaIy and Chongqing?

Answer:Definitely, the Consulate General of Italy will further spur project cooperation between Chongqing and Italy in various areas. Hopefully the international railway company of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe trains can consider opening up a branch in Italy. We will strive to directly connect existing railway lines with our railway lines. Given the dynamism and vibrancy in the current Chinese market, we hope more Italian enterprises and plants to interact with Chinese market, in Southwestern China in particular.
