中意警方在罗马米兰首次进行联合巡逻

Police officers from China are to collaborate with police officers from Italy in two joint patrols in Rome and Milan for two weeks starting from Monday.

从周一起，中国警察将与意大利警察合作，一同走上罗马和米兰街头，开展为期两周的联合巡逻行动。

Police who patrol in Rome and Milan will include two Chinese officers each, who can speak Italian and English besides Mandarin.

在罗马和米兰，将分别有两名中国警察参与巡逻。这些中国警察不仅会说普通话，还会说意大利语和英语。

"It is an important day because we are strengthening collaboration with China in a very special field," Italian Interior Minister Angelino Alfano told a press conference in Rome in the presence of the two countries' authorities.

意大利内政部长安杰利诺·阿尔法诺代表两国政府在罗马的一场新闻发布会上讲道：“这是非常重要的一天，因为我们在一个非常特殊的领域加强了与中国的合作。”

Alfano said Chinese uniformed police would work together with Italian uniformed police in Rome and Milan to reinforce the sense of safety for the many Chinese tourists visiting Italy.

阿尔法诺表示，中国警察将与意大利警察一起在罗马和米兰工作，以此来增强许多到意大利旅游的中国游客的安全感。

The interior minister said he hoped the bilateral collaboration would then be deepened with further agreements, and also extended to other Italian cities, because "China has a fundamental role in the world's destiny." He noted that it's the first time China sent police to Europe for such a project.

这位内政部长还表示，他希望这一双边合作之后可以深化两国进一步的协议，将其延伸到意大利的其他城市，因为“中国对世界各国的命运起着重要作用。” 他指出，这是中国首次派警察到欧洲开展此类计划。

The two countries would be able to further deepen knowledge of their legal systems through the joint patrols, said Liao Jinrong, director-general of the international cooperation department at China's Ministry of Public Security.

中国公安部国际合作局局长廖进荣表示，通过此次联合巡逻行动，两国将加深对彼此司法体系的了解。

Gennaro Capoluongo, head of the international police cooperation service in Italy, told Xinhua Italian police had already carried out similar initiatives with other countries including the United States and Spain, especially during peak tourism periods. "We feel proud to be the first one in Europe to undergo such an important collaboration program with China," he said.

意大利国际警务合作服务主管詹纳罗·卡波罗歌接受新华社采访时表示，意大利警方已经跟美国、西班牙等国家的警察合作过，在旅游旺季的时候更是如此。他说：“我们很骄傲成为第一个跟中国进行重要合作计划的欧洲国家。”
