In remarks carried by the Italian Nova news agency on Tuesday, Di Maio said ‘when we talk about diplomacy as is happening in Libya not weapons, Italy is again playing a key role.’
‘One year ago in the first meeting of the Berlin Conference, when we met all Libyan players, no one believes in the peace plan and Italy was criticized when it talked to all’, Di Maio said.
