Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani held a discussion with German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul aimed at preserving stability and economic balance in the region.

Regarding the details of the meeting, Tajani said: “We are working to ensure that Europe stands at the forefront of political and diplomatic initiatives to build a path toward peace in the Middle East. Italy and Germany want to defend our partner and allied countries together, particularly Cyprus and the Gulf states. However, we now want to work toward finding a peaceful solution to the conflict in Iran.”

Drawing attention to the economic impact of the war and energy security, Tajani stated: “We are determined to prevent the war from causing further negative consequences; this situation will affect our two economies, our businesses, and the entire balance of power in the Middle East. Energy is a very important issue.”

Tajani concluded his remarks by saying: “We are working to prevent an energy crisis so that the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened and oil and natural gas exporting countries can continue their activities.”
