In addition, the Italian authorities are working to increase defense spending, including in cooperation with other EU countries.
We discussed many issues related to cooperation between us, including European defense, in which we all believe, we also talked about security spending, we talked about the requests that NATO makes to us. I have already said that Italy is in favor of increasing security spending.
