French President Emmanuel Macron
is set to arrive in Rome later on Wednesday for talks on a
"Quirinal Treaty" on bilateral relations on the model of the
treaty France signed with Germany in 1963, Élysée Palace sources
said.
Italian Premier Paolo Gentiloni is working with Macron on the
treaty, which will seek to ensure the two countries coordinate
with efforts "in a systematic way".
The two leaders are to give a working group the task of
drafting the treaty, which is set to be named after the Quirinal
Palace, the residence of the Italian president, Italian sources
said.
The text will be centred on bilateral relations but will also
have a strong European orientation to contribute to the renewal
of the European Union.
