“As Europeans, as neighboring countries, as friendly peoples, we must continue all the work with Italy. Succeeding together, in dialogue and ambition: we owe it to our young people and our peoples.

With this tweet, French President Emmanuel Macron stressed that relations between Italy and France will continue in the same direction as ever.

“Dear energy, support for Ukraine and migration”: what emerges from the meeting

Last night’s meeting, Sunday October 23, ended with a handshake between Macron and the new Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. “A cordial and fruitful exchange, lasting more than an hour, between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron. During the talks, although informal, all the major European issues were discussed: the need to provide rapid and common responses to expensive energy, support for Ukraine, the difficult economic situation, the management of migration. The Presidents of Italy and France have agreed on the will to pursue collaboration on major challenges at European level and in respect of mutual national interests”. This is the press release published by the press office of Palazzo Chigi.

Macron’s trip to Italy began with a peace conference organized by the Community of Sant’Egidio, at the La Nuvola convention center in Rome. Later he met Giorgia Meloni in a Roman hotel. “We preferred this relationship to be informal, but it is important in the context of relations between our countries and the European Union”.
