The center, co-founded by Italy's consulate general in Chongqing, the Liangjiang New Area administrative committee and the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce, expects to enhance bilateral cooperation on production capacity and boost investments in key industries, including automobile, environmental protection and machinery.
