(Adnkronos) – Italy’s remains a supporter of a two-state solution to the long-running conflict between Israel and the Palestinians – despite the absence of a reference to this goal in the conclusions of the G7 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Quebec.
“Our position remains completely unchanged,’ Tajani said.
“Our goal is always two peoples and two states. In the document there is a reference to the aspirations of the two peoples, which must be achieved through negotiation, so we are going in that direction,” he said.
In their conclusions, G7 foreign ministers meeting in La Malbei Canada on Thursday and Friday “reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine in defending its territorial integrity and right to exist, and its freedom, sovereignty and independence.”
G7 members called for Russia to reciprocate by agreeing to a ceasefire on equal terms and implementing it fully.
“We are very pleased at the outcome of the conference, where the importance of G7 unity was underlined,” Tajani told a press briefing.
“The final document sends a clear message in favour of peace in Ukraine and in the Middle East,” he said.
