    Monti arrived in the Chinese capital on Friday (March 30) after visiting South Korea and Japan on a trip around East Asian powerhouses aimed at boosting economic ties.
    State news agency Xinhua said on Friday that the visit would help to promote bilateral "exchanges and co-operation in various areas".
    Xinhua said earlier that the two countries were set to boost bilateral trade to $80 billion U.S. dollars by 2015 from $51 billion U.S. dollars in 2011.
    After Beijing, Monti is expected to attend the annual Boao Forum in the southern Chinese province of Hainan, Chinese state media said.
