Details
It is noted that Meloni had a telephone conversation with the President of the Republic of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

It is indicated that the Italian Prime Minister thanked Erdogan for Turkey's commitment to achieving a negotiated solution that would end the conflict, and reiterated her hope that Russia, as Ukraine has done, will respond positively to the invitation to negotiations at the highest level and agree to a full and unconditional 30-day ceasefire as a "concrete sign of readiness for peace."
