France hopes new Italian government will help boost ties: Le Maire
CERNOBBIO, Italy - With the arrival of a new government in Rome, France and Italy have a unique chance to strengthen their ties through joint projects and closer cooperation on European matters, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Saturday.
Tensions hit a high in February when France recalled its ambassador to Italy for the first time since World War Two, blaming a string of insults from Italian politicians, capped by then Deputy Prime Minister Luigi di Maio’s decision to meet members of France’s “yellow vest” protest movement. “There are many projects on the table and I think we can give fresh impetus... to both industrial and financial projects between France and Italy,” he said.
Le Maire on Saturday poured cold water on the possibility that merger talks could restart soon, saying Renault had to focus on strengthening its alliance with Nissan .
