Georgia Meloni: Me and Kyriakos Mitsotakis play a leading role in summits

In her relationship with him, she mentioned the , during an interview with the Italian Prime Minister, with a main reference to the political account of the year we left behind and the challenges of 2025. During the interview, the Italian Prime Minister referred to Greece and its relationship with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. CORVERSE More specifically, the head of the Italian government stressed: “The relations between Italy and Greece are exceptional, of course, between two countries that share geostrategic identity and belong to the European Union and the Atlantic Alliance. Me and Kyriakos Mitsotakis sit next to the European Councils and play a leading role in various “format”, such as MED9, MED5 and, of course, European summits. The North-South Summit, which took place before Christmas in Finland, is one of the most interesting innovations in recent months. As I pointed out at the press conference with which the summit was completed, a few years ago, the so-called “received countries” and those that some people treated as “not exactly serious”, could meet to talk about the major issues of European security. It means a lot of things are changing now. CORVERSE I believe that the work that Greece and Italy have done in recent years has contributed to this change. Yes, me and Kyriakos Mitsotakis are talking about many issues on which we have a common approach. That of security, defence and immigration, which concerns us as much as a few other countries in Europe. But we are also talking about issues such as environmental protection and management projects, at a time when we are facing extreme climatic phenomena. Soon, we will not have a simple meeting, but an intergovernmental conference will be held. The last one took place in Corfu, I think in 2017. The next will be in Rome, if I remember correctly on February 9 (st: Italian diplomatic sources have been mentioned on the date of February 19 rather than February 9) and our goal is to formalise, with new signatures, the wideness of our cooperation. By joint declaration, which will follow the thread of all our cooperation and some bilateral agreements, on matters of particular importance. These will probably include the areas of security and civil protection.”
