Italy and France can work together to
"restore impetus and vitality" to the European Union, Foreign
Minister Angelino Alfano wrote to his new French counterpart
Jean-Yves Le Drian Wednesday.
The two countries can offer "new responses on the issues of
growth, social cohesion, security, terrorism and solidarity,"
Alfano said, congratulating Le Drian.
"Our joint commitment in the European sphere, in the context
of the Atlantic Alliance and in international fora, is
fundamental to address new and insidious international
challenges, starting from the Mediterranean Sea and the African
continent," Alfano said, voicing confidence Italy and France
would bolster bilateral ties.
