Today’s meeting of the Foreign Affairs-Defence Negotiating Table in the Strategic format was co-chaired by Minister Luigi Di Maio and Lorenzo Guerini. The Foreign Affairs-Defence Negotiating Table is a standing consultative committee between the two Ministries which convenes regularly at political and technical level with the aim of assuring a constant alignment between the two Administrations on the principal issues of common interest, especially in foreign policy and international security, including Italy’s participation in international missions.
Today’s meeting focused on the latest developments in the Russian Federation’s aggression against Ukraine and examined the different aspects connected to Italy’s assistance to Ukraine and its contribution to the position of allied deterrence, also in view of the NATO summit that is scheduled to be held in Madrid at the end of June. The meeting also addressed other issues inherent to Italy’s commitment to international missions.
