(Adnkronos) – The United States is an “irreplaceable” partner for Italy and the two nations share the goals of peace and stability in the world, president Sergio Mattarella wrote Friday in a message to his US counterpart Donald Trump to mark America’s Independence Day.
“The US is an irreplaceable partner for Italy. And the solidity of bilateral relations and the extraordinary intensity of political dialogue reflect a bond that is deeply felt and shared by our peoples,” the message stated.
“Face with an international scenario characterized by multiple and complex challenges, starting with the dramatic situation in Ukraine and in the Middle East, the US and Italy share the aim of seeking pathways to stability and peace… by promoting cooperation and global security,” read the message.
“In this context, where critical issues and tensions abound, the continuing centrality of the transatlantic bond remains the key to addressing these problems effectively,” the message underlined.
The message paid tribute to the “dynamic Italian-American community” in the US which it said contributes to the “fruitful economic, cultural and social exchanges” between the two countries.
Italian Americans also play a role in “an historic partnership that we intend to continue to keep consolidating on the basis of fairness and mutual prosperity,” the statement continued.
