Italy working with France, EU to solve migrant crisis

Rome: Italy’s premier Giuseppe Conte on Tuesday moved to ease tensions between Rome and Paris after welfare and industry minister Luigi Di Maio accused France of neo-colonial policies that were “impoverishing” Africans and fuelling migration. “We need to commit greater resources and put more energy into empowering a continent to be able to fulfill its vast potential,” said Conte. “We will continue to work side by side with France’s government and with European institutions and countries to find a shared solution,” Conte stated.
