| 00:30 | | This summit and our involvement in this conference |
| 00:37 | | both confirm Italy’s commitment to NATO, of course. |
| 00:45 | | And also to the common challenges that the alliance is facing in this particularly delicate phase. |
| 00:53 | | Both the European and the transatlantic components |
| 00:59 | | are fundamental for our safety. |
| 01:03 | | The [NATO] alliance is indispensable for the safety and prosperity of our nations. |
| 01:09 | | There isn’t and there cannot be growth in our societies unless there is safety. |
| 01:15 | | And, of course, we need to defend the common values of our Western identity, together. |
| 01:23 | | It’s what we have been doing, since we know that peace |
| 01:28 | | is something we mustn’t take for granted, |
| 01:33 | | but it’s something we need to work for. |
| 01:37 | | Which obliges us to be ready to defend ourselves effectively. |
| 01:43 | | With regard to this, I have confirmed to Secretary General Stoltenberg that |
| 01:48 | | In the face of our greatest challenge in this particular time, |
| 01:55 | | Italy strongly supports Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, freedom. |
| 02:00 | | The alliance’s political cohesion and our staunch commitment |
| 02:08 | | to the Ukrainian cause are the best response that NATO allies can give, |
| 02:17 | | in terms of determination, to stand united in the defense of the Euro-Atlantic safety.
