Interior ministers from the G7, a group including some of the world's most industrialised economies gathered in Mirabella Eclano southern Italy on Thursday (Oct. 03).
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi welcomed delegations from France, Germany, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The two-day summit will focus on migration and human trafficking, threats caused by international crises, drug trafficking, AI and cyber-security.
“In particular the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are polarising our communities, increasing the risk that people might join extreme ideologies that could bring terrorist attacks on our lands,” Piantedosi told his counterparts in an opening statement.
Some representatives of third countries, including Libya, Tunisia and Algeria were also invited.
Unauthorized migration to European Union nations declined sharply in the initial eight months of the year, regardless of political rhetoric.
