Italy protagonist in European unity - Tajani

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 4 - Italy was one of the countries that founded the European Union and it wants to be a protagonist in building the unity needed to face major geopolitical challenges, Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Thursday.
    "The Italian government has two polar stars: transatlantic relations and Europe," Tajani told the State of the Union conference organised by the European University Institute (EUI) in Fiesole, Tuscany.
    "We are a founding country, we want to be protagonists in the construction of a path that sees all peoples united to face the great geopolitical challenges together," said Tajani.
    "When the war is over, there will be giants - the US, China, India, Russia - with which we will have to measure ourselves," he added. (ANSA).
