France's ambassador to Rome will return to Italy "at the opportune moment" French foreign ministry spokesperson Nicolas Durieu said on Wednesday.
France recalled Ambassador Christian Masset for consultations last week citing unprecedented attacks by Italian government figures after Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio meet with members of the Yellow Vest protest movement in France. Italian President Sergio Mattarella and French President Emmanuel Macron had a tension-eason telephone conversation on Tuesday. "The two leaders reaffirmed the importance of Franco-Italian relations and recalled the common responsibility with respect to the European union," the French government said.
