During the meeting, Xi also extended his sympathy to the Italian people affected by a strong earthquake that hit central Italy in October, and wished that the Italian people would tide over difficulties and rebuild their homes as soon as possible.
The Chinese president stressed that the EU is a vital pole in the world and a comprehensive strategic partner for China.
While Europe is experiencing some significant changes, China, a supporter of a prosperous and stable Europe, hopes that Italy could play an active role to ensure a long-term, steady and sound development of China-Europe relations, said Xi.
He also briefed Renzi about the sixth plenary session of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee, which was held in late October.
For his part, Renzi said Italy highly appreciates China's development achievements, and intends to actively participate in the Belt and Road Initiative,
The two countries, both ancient civilizations with a long-standing friendship, have witnessed a sound development of their ties, said the Italian prime minister.
He added that Italy is willing to work with China to further their cooperation in such areas as economy and trade, energy, innovation, culture and tourism.
Meanwhile, Italy is committed to boosting China-Europe relations, and working with China to maintain world peace and stability, he said.
