(ANSA) - Paris, August 22 - French President Emmanuel Macron
phoned Italian Premier Paolo Gentiloni Tuesday to discuss
migrants and the Libyan situation, topics that will be addressed
at a summit with Germany and Spain on August 28, sources close
to Macron's office said. They also discussed preparations for a
bilateral meeting in Lyon on September 27, as well as the fight
against terrorism. Macron recently voiced support for Italy's
efforts to cope with migrants while stressing that economic
migrants must be separated from refugees. The migrant flow from
Libya has waned recently after Italy issued an NGO code of
conduct and forged a deal with Libyan authorities under which
Tripoli has started stopping migrant boats.
