ROME, Italy, January 16, 2013/African Press Organization (APO)/ — According to Minister Giulio Terzi and Defence Minister Giampaolo Di Paola in a joint report today to the Senate, the Italian government’s approach to the Mali crisis is a three-pronged one that includes, first of all, “reiterating Italy’s political support for efforts” currently underway “within the framework of UN Security Council resolution 2085”; “secondly, and similarly to what is being done at European level, offering concrete logistical support for the operation, especially to African countries having difficulty moving ground troops”; “thirdly, underscoring the absolute urgency of deploying 250 trainers (EUTM) to Bamako during tomorrow’s extraordinary meeting of the Foreign Affairs Council”.
