- Premier Giorgia Meloni said Friday that her government intends to present a plan for Africa named after Eni founder Enrico Mattei in the autumn after arriving in Addis Ababa for a two-day visit to Ethiopia.
"We are working on a series of initiatives regarding Africa," she said as she arrived at her hotel.
"The next Italy-Africa intergovernmental summit, which takes place every two years, will be in the autumn and it could be the occasion to present our Mattei plan.
"In the meantime we are working in cooperation with the African countries because you cannot think you know the best solutions without dialogue with those who are directly concerned".
Meloni has been calling on Europe to boost aid and develop stronger cooperation with Africa as part of a strategy to reduce the number of migrants seeking to cross the Mediterranean.
