The Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Luigi Di Maio spoke today with the Foreign Minister of Iran, Javad Zarif.
First and foremost Minister Di Maio emphasised how Italy is interested in maintaining and safeguarding its historical and profound bilateral relations with Iran.
During the cordial conversation, the two Ministers shared their concerns about the situation in the Gulf Region, where the negative developments over the last few weeks pose a serious risk to international security. The Minister stressed the fundamental importance of avoiding any further actions that might escalate tensions, which therefore requires constructive commitment by all the players involved, through dialogue and political negotiation. The Minister then re-iterated how the JCPoA remains a pillar of security for the entire area, which is why the European Union will continue to call for the fulfilment of its terms.
