Italy Demands Fairer Partnership with Migration-Producing Nations

Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni has called for a more equal relationship between Europe and developing countries that produce migrants, blaming people traffickers more than poverty and conflicts. The conference aimed to address migration and energy issues impacting Mediterranean nations, with Italy sustaining hundreds of new arrivals daily on Europe's southern border. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen spoke of opening up legal avenues to migration, while Tunisian President Kais Saied attributed increased migration to European colonization. Meloni highlighted the potential for cooperation, particularly in clean energy, between Italy and Tunisia.
