Syria, Libya and ties between
Russia and the EU will top the agenda of talks President Sergio
Mattarella will have on an official visit to Moscow Tuesday.
Mattarella will meet Premier Dmitri Medvedev and then
President Vladimir Putin.
He is the first Western president to have talks with Putin
after the terror attack in St Petersburg and the American attack
on a Syrian air base.
The Russian-Italian friendship is "solid", and despite many
difficulties in international relations "it has remained
strong," said Mattarella after arriving in the Russian capital
and laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
