(ANSA) – ROME, APR 25 – Premier Giorgia Meloni and her

taking part in a bilateral conference in Rome on Wednesday on
Ukraine’s reconstruction after the Russian invasion.

proposals for both ‘fast recovery’ initiatives and medium- and
long-term projects.
   
There will be specific sessions focusing on the areas considered
to be the highest priorities for reconstruction, such as
transport and infrastructure, energy, food and agriculture,
health, aviation and the environment.

Premier and Transport and Infrastructure Minister Matteo
Salvini, Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti, Business and Made
in Italy Minister Adolfo Urso, and Carlo Bonomi, the president
of Italian industry confederation, Confindustria, are also
