Premier Matteo Renzi said
Wednesday that "we do not think there is a future for Europe
without the United Kingdom as a key partner".
He spoke after meeting British Prime Minister David
Cameron, who was in Milan to visit British sites at Milan Expo
2015.
Britain says it will hold a referendum on its membership in
the European Union.
"There are many points of collaboration with the United
Kingdom and with the leadership of David Cameron," said Renzi.
"We discussed the outlook for Europe in the coming months,"
Renzi added.
"It will be a very intense period, and the discussion of
the referendum in the UK is also very important for us," he
added.
