The situation in Libya,
Syria and Iraq will be at the centre of a ministerial-level
meeting of the anti-ISIS coalition to be held in Rome on
February 2, Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said Monday.
The meeting - the fourth after London, Paris and Brussels -
"will be an opportunity to take stock not just of the military
aspect, but of progress in the various theatres, from Syria to
Iraq in particular, among the 'small group' of 22 countries that
are most involved," Gentiloni said.
The foreign minister also reaffirmed that Italy "is ready
to make its contribution in Libya" but that "an additional step
forward" is needed first.
"Namely, a government that can turn to the international
community with requests," Gentiloni said.
Talks are under way in Tunis to form a government of
national unity under a deal brokered by the international
community last December.
