Now is the time to restart after the
COVID emergency, President Sergio Mattarella told his German
counterpart Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the Italian embassy in
Berlin on Tuesday.
"This is the time to restart. We are laying the foundation for
the EU's future, which must be stronger and more cohesive," he
said.
Mattarella said "today we are celebrating the very strong
agreement between Italy and Germany with the firm determination
to continue it.
"The dynamic energies of our two countries - at all levels, from
the central one to the local bodies - are directed at the
crucial economic recovery, and the social one too.
"This is the time, I repeat, of the restart".
Earlier Tuesday Mattarella met Chancellor Angela Merkel.
