(ANSA) – ROME, DEC 21 – Italy and Greece join forces in the EU to face the migration challenge, together with the other countries of the southern shore of the Mediterranean, which meets periodically in the Med 5 format (with Spain, Cyprus and Malta) to “agree on collaboration strategies”. The ambassador of Italy in Athens Patrizia Falcinelli said this to ANSA on the sidelines of the Conference of Ambassadors and Ambassadors. Recalling, for example, that the Italian coast guard contributes to the Frontex operation currently deployed in the Aegean, to control migratory flows from the eastern Mediterranean to Greece and Italy.
Relations between Italy and Greece are “very strong” even on a bilateral level, Ambassador Falcinelli noted, recalling that “Italian entrepreneurs, even during the Greek crisis, continued to stay, indeed they invested even more, and this thing was more times recognized by the Greek authorities “.
The cultural link with a real “firepower” of Italy in Greece is essential: the institute of culture in Athens, one of the oldest, a state school that follows from childhood to high school and a school archaeological, this is also unique, the ambassador underlined.
Falcinelli then explained that Greece has handled the pandemic emergency well, vaccinations are in the European average, and the very severe restrictions adopted last year have allowed for a good tourist season in 2021. And in this key, the severity of anti -Covid also in recent months “must be interpreted with a view to avoiding endangering the next tourist season”. (HANDLE).
