Today began the visit of the Deputy Minister Del Re in Senegal, who had meetings with the President of the Republic, Macky Sall and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amadou Ba.

With his interlocutors, Del Re also addressed issues related to migration flows from the region, expressing appreciation for the decisive role of the Senegalese diaspora in Italy (the second largest in Europe). Finally, the meetings allowed an exchange of views on the political situation and security issues of the Sahel, the sub-Saharan region and Libya.
