The foreign ministry said the pair found “important points of convergence” with regard to policy in the Mediterranean, including immigration and defence. Premier Matteo Renzi made it clear the Mediterranean was an important part of Italy’s foreign policy by making his first official foreign visit to Tunisia last week. “This centrality will be the fundamental point of our foreign and territorial policy and of Italy’s EU presidency,” Renzi said at a joint press conference with Tunisian Premier Mehdi Jomaa. PItaly’s duty presidency begins July 1 and lasts for six months./PIMG id=mediaViewer title=”” alt=”” src=”http://www.mineralfossil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/wpid-trasp103.gif”ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
