The government is set for a
summit on the Libya crisis and migrants at around 17:00 Tuesday,
government sources said Tuesday.
All the ministers concerned will take part in the summit, the
sources said.
Premier Giuseppe Conte will preside, they said.
Militia fighters are moving closer to the UN-backed
government in Tripoli and the crisis may well have a knock-on
effect on migrants leaving for Italy.
Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini said Italy must be the
protagonist of stabilisation in the Mediterranean.
He said, referring to France, "the incursions of others who
have economic interests must not prevail over the common good
which is peace.
"I, too, am willing to run some risks and soon return to
Libya".
European Union member States should give up their own
national agendas in Libya, European Parliament President Antonio
Tajani said Tuesday.
"The European Parliament must make its voice heard on the
crisis in Libya in the next plenary session," he said.
"Only by acting in a united way can we work for peace and
stability.
"The member States must stop promoting their own national
agendas, damaging all European citizens".
