I am not in a position to be accurate on news analysis. But what I firmly believe is that Iranian President Rouhani and the government have committed themselves to a process. I don't think this process is about changing the principles of the Islamic republic, but it is about accepting a certain path of opening in the political and economic fields.

From Paolo Gentiloni

Italy has no colonial past in Iran.

From Paolo Gentiloni

I want to say very clearly that the government... is ready to intervene in order to guarantee the stability of banks and the savings of our citizens.

From Paolo Gentiloni

If necessary, Italy is prepared to fight against Islamic State in Libya because the Italian government cannot accept a terrorist danger in power just a few hours away from Italy by boat.

From Paolo Gentiloni

I know that many in Germany think we have a merry financial policy over here.

From Paolo Gentiloni

Europe - with hundreds of millions of people - can accept hundreds of thousands of migrants.

From Paolo Gentiloni

On immigration, Europe is in danger of displaying the worst of itself: selfishness, haphazard decision-making and rows between member states.

From Paolo Gentiloni

The migratory phenomenon exists, and Europe will have to face it together. The only alternative is a 'beggar-thy-neighbor' solution, in which countries try to load the problem off on their neighbors.

From Paolo Gentiloni

Responding to terrorism inevitably implies military consequences. This may shock some people, but these groups must also be dealt with on a military footing. I won't use the word 'combat' to avoid being painted as a crusader.

From Paolo Gentiloni

I'm aware of the urgency to give Italy a government in the fullness of its powers, to reassure the citizens, and to face with utmost commitment and determination international, economic and social priorities.
