As part of her ongoing contacts with key partners on the crisis in the Middle East, the President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, had a telephone conversation today with the President of Türkiye, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
President Meloni first of all expressed her solidarity and closeness to Türkiye, a strategic partner of Italy and a NATO ally, after it was the target of an unjustifiable missile attack.
President Meloni and President Erdoğan then had an exchange of views on developments in the regional situation - based also on the conversations President Meloni has had with various Middle Eastern players over the last few days - and on the global impact of the crisis.
The two leaders agreed to remain in close contact.
