The main objectives of Prime Minister Mario Monti\u2019s mission to Tripoli on 21 January, accompanied by Ministers for Foreign Affairs and the Defence Giulio Terzi and Giampaolo Di Paola, are to reaffirm and strengthen relations with the new Libya, offer the el-Kib government Italy\u2019s support for the democratic transition and reassert Italy\u2019s role as a long-preferred partner.<\/P>
\n
Monti\u2019s sights are set on a \u201cTripoli Declaration\u201d \u2013 a sort of policy framework capable of opening new inroads to future operational agreements, first and foremost economic ones, with a mission by Minister for Development Corrado Passera and a business delegation to follow in February; while immigration accords are envisaged with a trip by Interior Minister Annamaria Cancellieri.<\/P>
\n
In the course of his visit to Tripoli \u2013 which will include the restitution to the Libyans of the \u201cHead of Domitilla\u201d statue stolen from Sabrahta in 1990 \u2013 Monti will also open the new Italian Consulate. He intends to return to Rome, with his ministers and Eni CEO Paolo Scaroni, with a series of signed agreements: a framework agreement which Minister Di Paola will be discussing tomorrow in the context of Italy\u2019s contribution to stabilising the country on the fronts of security and border controls and that will aim, over the long term, at offering industrial cooperation and assistance in accordance with Libyan needs. Also envisaged are agreements in the sectors of fishing, customs cooperation and energy with Eni.<\/P>
