In the first visit to Azerbaijan by an Italian premier in 13 years, Italy's Giorgia Meloni said on Monday that the two countries needed to hold tight to reliable partnerships as instability spread across the Middle East.
"The more instability grows around us, the more important it is to strengthen the certainties we have — and the relationship between Italy and Azerbaijan is certainly one of those certainties," Meloni said at a joint press conference with President Ilham Aliyev in Baku.
