Milan, Mar. 7 (LaPresse) – “To ensure the security of the European Union’s borders we have also arranged the deployment of an Italian frigate to Cyprus, an act that is one of European solidarity, but above all of prevention. But our line is very clear: Italy is not part of the conflict and does not intend to become part of the conflict. We are working, as far as possible, toward the goal of reducing tensions and verifying whether there is still a possibility of resuming negotiations.” So said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a video on social media.
“In these hours we have promoted close discussions between Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, launching coordination among four major European states to face this crisis together and to strengthen diplomatic action. With French President Macron, German Chancellor Merz and British Prime Minister Starmer we shared the need to work together to avoid further escalation as much as possible and to contribute to international stability,” Meloni added.
“I am constantly following the developments of the Middle East crisis with the competent ministers. The government is working tirelessly to safeguard the security of our citizens and to protect Italy’s interests,” said Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in a video on social media. “In short, it is certainly a difficult phase, but the government is committed to protecting Italy’s security, committed to protecting the security of citizens, and committed to supporting every initiative aimed at seeking peace,” she concluded.
