Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio said
Wednesday in Brussels "we agreed with the US position (on
withdrawing from Afghanistan). We are heading for an epochal
decision for NATO, a decision we will take together with our
allies and which will concern the presence of the alliance's
troops in Afghanistan".
Speaking after a meeting with US, British, German, and Turkish
counterparts, Di Maio thanked the Italian soldiers engaged in
peacekeeping missions around the world and added: "we will never
abandon the Afghan people, whom we will continue to help even
more with development cooperation projects, support for
businesses, for civil society, and safeguarding human rights".
