(ANSA) - Rome, November 8 - President Sergio Mattarella said
Thursday "the country's sustainable development is closely
linked to its unity".
He said "Italy will become stronger if it succeeds in
reducing the gaps existing between North and South, between
cities and internal areas, between areas equipped with modern
and efficient infrastructure and structurally more disadvantaged
areas".
Mattarella made his remarks to the new Knights of Labour,
business people rewarded for their services to the economy.
