Conte migrant summit with Lamorgese

(ANSA) - Rome, September 12 - Premier Giuseppe Conte on Thursday held a migrant summit with Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, Defence Minister Lorenzo Guerini and Transport and Infrastructure Minister Paola De Micheli.
    Sources said the meeting was called so that the new government can get down to work on the migrant issue.
    The new 5-Star-Democratic Party (M5S-PD) government has signalled it may break with some of former interior minister and League leader Matteo Salvini's tough anti-migrant policies.
    These included closing Italy's ports to NGO run migrant rescue ships.
    There are currently two NGO ships at sea that have asked for a safe port from Italy, the Ocean Viking and the Alan Kurdi.
    So far ministers Lamorgese, Guerini and De Micheli have kept a low profile in the two cases.
