Italy is willing to participate
in peacekeeping operations in Libya, said Italian Foreign
Minister Paolo Gentiloni in an address Wednesday to the Lower
House and Senate prior to a United Nations Security Council
emergency meeting on the North African nation currently
undergoing a crisis with Islamist insurgents.
"Italy is ready to take responsibility up-close, to
contribute to monitoring the ceasefire, to keep the peace, to
work to rebuild infrastructure, to provide military training in
a framework of integration of militias into the regular army, to
treat and heal the wounded and to resume the broad program of
cooperation suspended last summer," Gentiloni said.
