Italian Government
The Minister Crosetto meets with his Turkish counterpart, Yaşar Güler
“Today I met with my Turkish counterpart, Yaşar Güler, to discuss the crisis in the Middle East, as well as the Balkans and Africa, areas where Italy and Turkey work closely together.
We shared deep concern over the dramatic escalation in the Middle East. I expressed our solidarity with Turkey regarding the ballistic missiles aimed at its territory, which were successfully intercepted by NATO’s air defense, a reminder of the importance of the Alliance’s territorial integrity.
I am pleased with the high level of cooperation between our Armed Forces, further strengthened by the KFOR mission experience, as well as with our significant collaborations in the defense industry. I also reaffirmed firm support for Ukraine.”
Thus stated the Minister of Defence, Guido Crosetto.
