It is both useful and necessary for
Italy to take part in the new EU Aspides mission to protect Red
Sea shipping from Houthi attacks, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on
a visit to Tokyo Monday.
"We are taking part in a defensive mission, it is useful, it is
right and I am happy that Italy is taking command of this
mission as a demonstration of our recognised role, and I think
it is strategic for Europe and Italy," she said.
