No change to foreign policy with centre right - Tajani

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 12 - Antonio Tajani, the coordinator of Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI), told an ANSA Forum on Monday that Italy will continue to follow the line of the EU and NATO on backing Ukraine following the Russia invasion if the centre-right coalition wins the September 25 general election.
    "There will be no change in foreign policy," Tajani told the Forum.
    "The centre right is with NATO and with the West.
    "FI is a guarantor at the European level and has great competence in international politics".
    Giorgia Meloni, the leader of the right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) that is leading in the polls and who is favourite to be Italy's next premier, has also said a centre-right government would not break ranks with the Western stance on Ukraine.
    Matteo Salvini, the leader of the right-wing League that is the other main part of the centre-right alliance, has expressed reservations about sanctions on Russia. (ANSA).
