On 17 May 2022, Chinese Ambassador to Italy, Li Junhua, and UNIDROIT Secretary-General, Professor Ignacio Tirado, concluded an exchange of notes to further enhance cooperation between the Chinese government and UNIDROIT.
According to the exchange of notes, UNIDROIT and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) concluded a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate in the promotion and development of private international law and commercial law in the Asia-Pacific region through the organization of events and other initiatives.
