Premier Paolo Gentiloni said
Wednesday that Italy had Germany's backing for its initiatives
to stop human trafficking in the Mediterranean. "We are working
together with the Libyan local and central authorities against
trafficking," Gentiloni told a press conference after meeting
Libyan Premier Fayez al-Sarraj in Rome. "A few hours ago I spoke
to (German Chancellor Angela) Merkel on the telephone and she
confirmed Germany's commitment to support Italian initiatives to
combat human trafficking and Italian-Libyan cooperation".
