Meloni blitz in the Gulf, energy security mission

The Prime Minister's blitz in the Persian Gulf: Giorgia Meloni, who landed in Jeddah in the afternoon of Friday 3 April, will see the main leaders of the area in two days and will visit not only Saudi Arabia but also the Arab Emirates and Qatar. This is the first visit by a Western leader to the oil-critical area since the beginning of the conflict in Iran. The PM's surprise mission aims, among other things, at the strengthening of national energy security. The Gulf is a crucial source of oil and gas for Italia and plays a decisive role in global energy prices.
