“It often takes years to see the results of reforms. The future travels fast and can be frightening». These are the words of the Italian premier Matteo Renzi - according to what is learned - in his speech at the G20 meeting in Hangzhou. The prime minister also spoke of growth and development. "We must pay more attention to fairness and equality - he underlined - We all want inclusive growth but we have a common enemy: fear". Precisely on the work done for the reforms, Renzi received the applause of US President Barack Obama who cited the Italian premier as an example of "good government work". In China, Renzi met President Xi Jinping and signed an agreement with Alibaba, the Chinese platform for internet purchases, on the subject of wine and the fight against commercial fraud.
