Italy and Canada see eye-to-eye on
"all the important points on the international agenda,"
President Sergio Mattarella told Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Wednesday in Ottawa, saying it was an occasion "to reaffirm and
further develop the great friendship existing between our two
countries".
Trudeau said Mattarella's weeklong visit was confirmation of
the "very close ties and the great friendship between Italy and
Canada".
He underscored in particular the rapport struck up with
Premier Paolo Gentiloni, "whom I had the pleasure of seeing in
Sicily at the G7 in Taormina and in a long bilateral talk in
Rome".
Trudeau also stressed to Mattarella the importance of a visit
that falls when Canada is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
