President Meloni’s telephone conversation with Chancellor Merz

The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, had a telephone conversation today with the Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Friedrich Merz.

As well as providing President Meloni with the opportunity to once again wish Chancellor Merz all the best with his work, the call allowed for an exchange of views on the main international and European issues, starting with the revitalisation of European competitiveness, in particular in the automotive industry, and migration management.

The two leaders also highlighted the excellent state of bilateral relations, as also shown by bilateral trade figures, and confirmed their intention to continue fostering the strategic partnership between Germany and Italy, also by implementing the joint Action Plan signed in Berlin in 2023.
