Third and final day of the G7 in Borgo Egnazia, Puglia. According to what we learn, US President Joe Biden left Brindisi airport late yesterday evening after participating in the world summit. The last bilateral meetings and the final press conference by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni are scheduled for today.
“In recent days Italy – the Prime Minister already outlines an initial assessment – has been at the center of the world, and the eyes of the world have been focused on us. It was a great responsibility and I am proud of how our nation managed, once again, to amaze and lead the way.”
The G7, seen through the eyes of the Italian delegation, went as it should have gone. For the “historic” presence of Pope Francis, for the Mattei Plan which enters into the conclusions and the trafficking of migrants which becomes a theme on which the 7 launch a “coalition” to combat it. But also for the presence of many leaders outside the group, from African ones to Turkish Erdogan, from the Indian Modi to the Brazilian Lula, passing through the Argentine Milei.
“With the final declaration the G7 has made some precise commitments – says Meloni – we will continue to support Ukraine, we have chosen to systematize our efforts and the different lines of action with a 360 degree approach to help the people Ukrainian to look to the future”. “Full convergence”, he continues, also on the conflict in the Middle East, for which “a significant increase in humanitarian assistance to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip” was also confirmed. Furthermore, the G7 “for the first time in history also spoke about the governance of migratory flows”, starting “from the need to build a global alliance against human traffickers and thus systematize efforts to combat a plague which fuels illegal migration flows and represents a new form of slavery.”
“The declaration, underlined Meloni, also deals with many other issues, the situation in the Indo-Pacific, economic security and the climate-energy nexus”.
