Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
said during a working lunch at the G7 in Paris Thursday devoted
to the fight against migrant traffickers and human trafficking
networks that "we are concerned about what is happening in Libya
and I take the opportunity to ask everyone for a solution".
Salvini has closed Italy's ports to migrant rescue NGOs and
boosted cooperation with the Libyan coast guard to take migrants
back to the North African country.
Human rights groups have denounced conditions in Libyan
migrant detention centres.
Italy has been working to firm up a peace and reconciliation
accord between warring factions in Libya.
