On Thursday 24 February 2022, the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of the French Republic, Jean Yves Le Drian, will attend a meeting of the Council of Ministers, at the invitation of the Italian Government, pursuant to the Quirinal Treaty (Trattato del Quirinale).
Once the meeting is over, Italy’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Luigi Di Maio and his French counterpart will hold a joint press point at the Farnesina, at 12.00 pm.
Given current legislation on social distancing, a limited number of press representatives will be allowed access: only one journalist, one photographer and/or one cameraman per newspaper or agency may be accredited. Considering the limited capacity of the press point room, a listening room will be set up for accredited press representatives once said capacity is exceeded.
The press point shall also be streamed live on the YouTube channel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.
