Premier Paolo Gentiloni called on
the United Nations to up its efforts to support stability in
Libya during a meeting with the UN's special envoy for the North
African country, Ghassan Salamè, sources said Tuesday.
"Italy has been working for Libya's stabilization for some
time," Gentiloni said during the meeting at the premier's office
in Rome, according to the sources.
"I hope that the United Nations will give this process a
decisive push".
Gentiloni also stressed that strengthening Libya will help
solve the Mediterranean migrant crisis.
"Stronger Libyan authorities will make the common effort
against traffickers in human beings more effective," he said,
according to the sources.
