2020年是意大利民主党和五星运动联合执政的第一个完整年份。与此前五星运动和联盟党执政时相比，意大利对外政策有明显的回归欧盟和西方主流的趋势。在抗击新冠肺炎疫情的过程中，意大利与欧盟的关系由冷转热，成为欧盟复苏基金的最大受益国。意法关系也得到缓和，但意大利与法德轴心的竞争仍然存在。受到中美欧地缘竞争加剧的影响，意大利对华和对俄友好的务实政策在欧盟和西方内部面临较大压力。一方面，中国援助意大利抗疫延续了两国合作态势，另一方面，在美国游说和欧盟规则下，意大利在5G核心设备招标上排除了华为。地中海和非洲地区的安全问题仍是意大利的重要关切。目前意大利在利比亚调停维和的效果不佳，而与突尼斯、萨勒赫地区国家的双边关系取得了一些进展。
2020 was the first complete year for the coalition government of Democratic Party and Five Star Movement. Departing from the previous coalition government of League and Five Star Movement，the current Italian foreign policy shows the obvious trend of backing to the EU and Western mainstream. During the process of combating COVID-19 pandemic，the Italy-EU relations have been improved，as Italy becomes the biggest beneficiary of the EU common bonds. The Italy-France relations also ameliorated but the competition between Italy and Franco-German axis remains. Affected by the growing geopolitical game between China，the US and the EU，Italy’s pragmatic cooperation with China and Russia faces increasing pressures within the EU and the Atlantic alliance. On the one hand，China’s medical assistance to Italy has made the bilateral cooperation of the two countries continue；On the other hand，Italy excluded Huawei from its 5G core network equipment tender. Moreover，Italy deeply concerns the security situation in Mediterranean area and Africa. Italy’s efforts of mediation and peace-keeping has poor results in Libya，while its bilateral relations with Tunisia and Sahel countries make some headway.
