Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano
said Friday that in talks with US Secretary of State Rex
Tillerson on the margins of the Bonn G20, the US official
"clearly reaffirmed the strength of the historic ties with
Europe that is the transatlantic relationship, and also their
interest for issues regarding the Mediterranean.
"It's not true, therefore, that there is a lack of US
interest" on these fronts, the minister said.
With Tillerson, Alfano added, "We reiterated Italy's
important role in Libyan affairs, with our courageous gesture of
reopening the embassy in Tripoli which has produced important
fruit, starting with the accord" on migrants signed in Rome with
Premier Fayez al-Sarraj.
