Italian migrant reception policies
have not compromised security, Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano
said on Africa Day celebrations at the foreign ministry
Thursday.
"In a global context where zero risk for attacks does not
exist, our country has succeeded in reconciling solidarity with
security," he said.
"All the challenges of our time begin in Africa", he said,
citing security, refugee and economic migration.
For this reason, Alfano said, "those who want to tackle
certain questions are short-sighted if they mean to do so
starting from Europe, and it is far-sighted to do so starting
from Africa".
