Prime Minister

Giorgia Meloni

, according to reports, has arrived in Baghdad, Iraq, where this morning she was welcomed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani with whom she had an interview at the Government Palace.

Meloni met the Italian ambassador Maurizio Greganti in the Iraqi capital and at the Union 3 military base, headquarters of the NATO Mission Commands (NMI) and the Anti-Daesh Coalition (OIR), the commander of the mission, the General of the Army Corps Giovanni Maria Iannucci, a representation of Italian soldiers present and the personnel of the Italian military contingent in Iraq.

In the meantime, posting his photo at the airport on Twitter to visit the Italian contingents in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, Defense Minister

Guido Crosetto

says he is "honored to bring the greetings and thanks of the institutions and the Italians to our soldiers who they will spend the Christmas holidays in the service of the country, away from their loved ones". 

On the other hand, Foreign Minister

Antonio Tajani

is leaving for Lebanon, who explains on his Twitter account that he will go "to visit our contingent in @UNIFIL. Over 1,000 men to defend peace. A pride for all of Italy", points out.

"I am really very pleased to be here in Iraq today in what represents my first bilateral mission outside Europe. Iraq is a friendly country which has once again shown its belief in democracy with the recent formation of the government", said the Prime Minister on the sidelines of the conversation with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Iraq, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.

"Iraq - he underlined - is a nation that has made important steps forward in terms of security and political stability and which, from our point of view, can look to reconstruction with optimism. Italy has always been at the forefront in supporting Iraq at 360. We also do it within the framework of the Anti-Daesh Coalition: because there can be no stability and prosperity in the Middle East without a strong Iraq.

Italy has always been at Iraq's side in its rebirth". "Our bilateral relations are intense and have deep roots.

We collaborate from an energy, industrial and cultural point of view.

We must now do more and strengthen our partnership.

2023 must be the year of turning point in our bilateral relations,” she concluded.
