Tajani: "There's no diplomatic crisis. Meloni and I are maintaining relations with France."

RIMINI – “ There is no diplomatic crisis with France , I spoke at length with Barrot yesterday, we prepared the G7. I think it is right to point out that foreign policy relations are managed by the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister” and the discussions between the “Prime Minister and the French President and my discussions with the French Foreign Minister are frequent”. This is how Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Antonio Tajani responded to a question on relations with France at a press conference at the Rimini Meeting after the Italian ambassador to Paris was recalled for Matteo Salvini 's comments .

"If you want to achieve results," he reiterated, "you have to focus on ideas, even when there are differences. It's not that we always have the same ideas with our European friends, but in my opinion, success is achieved through the strength of ideas rather than the force of words."
