Italian premier Giorgia Meloni to meet EU chiefs in Brussels Thursday

The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will be among the top EU officials Giorgia Meloni meets in Brussels the next week, the parties said on Friday.

They will be meeting in person for the first time since Meloni was sworn in as a result of the historic triumph of her far-right, anti-EU Brothers of Italy party in the general elections last month.

Next Thursday, Meloni will have a meeting with "leaders of European institutions," according to her office.

She will meet with Charles Michel, the president of the European Council, and von der Leyen in Brussels, according to EU officials.

The most right-wing administration to gain power in Rome since World War II is Meloni's, which includes Matteo Salvini's anti-immigration League party and former premier Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia.

The 45-year-old has said she will stand up more for Italy’s interests in the EU, which she sees more as a confederation of sovereign nations than a political union.

However, in her first speech to parliament on Tuesday, Meloni took pains to emphasise she saw Italy as “fully part of Europe”.

She said her objective “is not to slow down or sabotage European integration”, but to make it more effective in dealing with crises.

After Meloni was sworn in last Saturday, von der Leyen said she looked forward to “constructive cooperation” with the new government.

The week after Brussels, Meloni will attend a meeting of heads of state at the COP UN climate change conference in Egypt on November 7 and 8.

She will also attend the G20 leaders’ summit in Bali on November 15 and 16, according to the schedule published by her office.
