Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said that his country is committed to pushing the peace process to achieve peace in Libya, and understanding with Turkey, which has become a major player in the Libyan file, in exchange for the dispersion of the political position of the various European Union countries.
He stressed that Italy's insistence in the meeting of the European Union Council was behind the agreement on joint financing to face the repercussions of Corona on the continent.
"We participate continuously in bilateral and European discussions with Ankara to ensure constructive dialogue and promote a political solution to the Libyan crisis, " Giuseppe Conte said, in an exclusive interview with Al-Jazeera Net, to be published on Friday .
He pointed out that "Italy and the European Union are generally committed to strengthening the political process, as it is the only one capable of ensuring the calm of Libya and the entire Mediterranean region."

"
Conte talked about the secret behind the Europeans' conviction of the idea of Italy, which led the proposal to finance projects to revive the economy, of the European Union countries affected by the Corona epidemic, after Conte faced major objections by some European partners, led by the Dutch, for months since the start of negotiations at the beginning of last spring .
Conte said in an interview with Al-Jazeera for the "Today's Meeting" program on 9/4/2020 that "he will propose a European solidarity mechanism that proves that Europe is in a collective response to this emergency and not to act individually, because Italy is an integral part of the European Union."

The dialogue with the Italian Prime Minister touched on Italy's future from the standpoint of the economic repercussions of the "Covid-19" epidemic, in light of the continuation of the state of emergency, which was approved last Wednesday, July 28, to take effect until October 15.
