(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, JUL 11 - Premier Giorgia Meloni has
requested that an Italian be appointed NATO's new special envoy
for its southern front during the summit of the leaders of
countries belonging to the alliance in Washington, Deputy
Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has said.
"The creation of the NATO special envoy for the southern flank
is an important decision," Tajani said on the sidelines of the
summit.
"It is something Italy battled for and we believe it is right
that an Italian should be chosen for that role, the premier told
(NATO Secretary General-designate) Mark Rutte today.
"I think it is right given the role Italy has, including for the
number of military personnel it has on NATO missions. It would
be a recognition for our country". (ANSA).
