French President Emmanuel Macron
said Friday that he agreed with Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte
over issues including migrants and the euro after the leaders
met for talks in Paris.
"The exchange we had made it possible to agree on several
issues," Macron told a press conference.
"Cooperation between our countries is indispensable,
especially on immigration and the eurozone".
The meeting comes after tension between Rome and Paris this
week over the Italian government's decision to refuse to allow
migrant-rescue ship Aquarius use Italian ports last weekend.
On Thursday Conte said the case was closed after Macron said
he never intended to offend the Italian people.
The French president was quoted as accusing the Italian
government of cynicism and irresponsibility over the Aquarius.
