(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 18 - The government has approved 40
international missions by Italy in 2021, sources said Friday.
Two are new ones: in the Strait of Hormuz with an air and navy
detachment for "activities of presence, surveillance and
security" within the European multinational initiative EMASOH,
and the other in Somalia where an Italian representative will
take part in the UN's UNSOM mission.
The main focus, as always, is on the wider Mediterranean with 17
missions in Africa.
The cabinet greenlit the missions Thursday night on proposals
from Defence and Foreign Ministers Lorenzo Guerini and Luigi Di
Maio. (ANSA).
