Rome, Italy - January 09, 2025 Italy's Foreign Minister, Antonio Tajani, welcomed his partners from the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in Rome on Thursday to encourage a transition that makes Syria a "stable" country and allows for the return of refugees. Camera: DANIEL CÁCERES. STATEMENTS BY ANTONIO TAJANI, ITALIAN MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS: Our goal is to have a stable Syria, a Syrian territorial unity in which all Syrians are recognized as citizens with equal rights and duties. This is fundamental. We are also in favor of the return of refugees who had arrived in neighboring countries. The new Lebanese president is a respectable man, a friend of Italy, we know him very well. We hope that this election can favor a new season in the relationship with Israel and strengthen the cease-fire. [Restrictions: Spain, Latin America, or the U.S. Hispanic market]
