Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who served as the event's host, invited Prime Minister Modi to attend the meeting.
"We aim to enhance our coordination and financing for the Lobito, Luzon, Middle, and India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridors; additionally, we will build on the EU Global Gateway, the Great Green Wall Initiative, and the Mattei Plan for Africa, which was initiated by Italy," the statement stated.
