“I believe that over the coming months the government and parliament can work together on a framework law on international missions”, Minister Mogherini announced, according to whom this would be an opportunity for a “policy discussion of individual missions, and not only in terms of financing”, but also of how “civilian and military intervention interconnect”.
Cooperation: “Parliament doesn’t have much time for the reform”
Minister Mogherini confirmed the government’s commitment to Cooperation reform, speaking of the rapid result that “I hope will be forthcoming in the Senate in the coming weeks”. “International cooperation”, the minister added, “cannot be understood as charity but as an investment in the national security and in more effective relations.
