EU foreign policy chief in Expo visit

European foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini is due to visit the Save the Children pavilion at Milan's Expo trade fair Saturday, the charity said in a statement.

Save the Children Italy's director Valerio Neri will greet Mogherini and show her around the charity's pavilion at the trade fair, which opened on 1 May and runs until end-October.

The pavilion is themed around mother and infant nutrition and malnutrition and safeguarding child migrants reaching Europe by boat.

A total of 1,686 foreign minors have already arrived in Italy this year, Save the Children Italy said on Thursday in a statement.

The charity and other organisations have written an open letter urging the government to issue a decree giving all child migrants arriving in Italy the protection granted to asylum-seekers and refugees, the statement said.

Save the Children last month urged the EU to set up a search and rescue mission in the Mediterranean, where over 1,750 migrants are feared to have died this year during a surge in perilous boat crossings to Europe.

Some 51,000 migrants have entered Europe by sea, 30,500 via Italy, according to the UN refugee agency.
