Italian Ambassador in Tokyo Gianluigi
Benedetti told ANSA Sunday that "the arrival of the Vespucci
sailing ship in Japan is a historic event and it follows the
arrival of other Italian Navy ships, like the Cavour aircraft
carrier".
Weklcoming the Navy's training ship to the port of the Japanese
capital, he said "it is also a sign that has a wider value,
multilateral if you will, a global strategic value.
"Italy's confirmation to want to contribute to peace and
stability in the world, ensuring the coordination in cooperation
with other partners and countries of various areas, maritime
safety and security and freedom of navigation".
