Sincere congratulations to Italian Prime Minister @GiorgiaMeloni on her government becoming the longest-serving government in the history of the Italian Republic. Through her distinguished leadership, she has effectively contributed to Italy’s continued development while strengthening the prosperity of its people. In building upon our longstanding ties of cooperation and friendship, we remain committed to further deepening the UAE-Italy strategic partnership in service of the progress of our nations and peoples.

🇮🇹 Italian PM Meloni announced a new measure requiring parents of foreign students with serious integration problems to learn Italian, alongside a ban on burqas and niqabs in schools. @GiorgiaMeloni declared that equality between men and women is "non-negotiable" both on Italy's streets and in its schools.

Upon landing in Rome, had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Meloni over dinner followed by a visit to the iconic Colosseum. We exchanged perspectives on a wide range of subjects. Looking forward to our talks today, where we will continue the conversation on how to boost the India-Italy friendship. @GiorgiaMeloni
