Interior ministers from the G7 group of industrialised nations and top European Union officials will meet in Italy next week to forge ways of combatting jihadist foreign fighters and the use of the Internet by terrorist groups.
Ministers from Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States, EU migration and internal affairs commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos and the bloc's security commissioner Julian King will attend the summit on the island of Ischia from 19-20 October, Italy's interior ministry said in a statement.
The two-day summit will centre on ways of working with the private sector to prevent terrorist organisations using the Internet to further their aims and on the sharing of information aimed at depleting the foreign fighters' ranks, the ministry stated.
