clarify many topics
and to define the issues on which we can act together".

"In our conversation with Giorgia Meloni we focused on the situation in
Tunisia

"There is a desire to collaborate"

With Paris "it seems to me that there is a desire to collaborate on
matters of
strategic importance for Italy and France, I am thinking of the migration issue on which I find President Macron's great willingness to address it in a structural way", he continued.
Potentially converging interests also in
industrial policy
.
"It seems to me that there was a very productive and favorable climate, and I think this can be useful for facing common challenges", said Meloni, focusing on Italy's "protagonism".
"France's position on nuclear power? I think that in addition to the technologies that can guarantee the objectives that the EU has set itself,
other "technologies that meet specific targets must also be recognised
