ROME (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 07th September, 2021) Chinese President Xi Jinping and Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, whose country holds the rotating G20 presidency, spoke by phone on Tuesday about ways of resolving the Afghan crisis.
"They mainly discussed the recent developments of the Afghan crisis and the possible areas of international cooperation to manage it, including the G20," the Italian government said.
The leaders also talked about cooperation between Italy and China ahead of the G20 leaders' summit in Rome, scheduled for October 30-31.
