The crisis in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan as well as war-torn Libya's path to stable democracy were at the centre of phone talks Wednesday between Italy's premier Mario Draghi and Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
"The fruitful and friendly exchange of views focused on the latest developments of the Afghan crisis and its regional implications exploring possible actions by the international community through various forums, including the G20," Dragh's office said in a statement.
During the "in-depth" conversation, Draghi and Erdogan also discussed Italy's priorities of cutting inequality, protecting global health and propelling rapid, sustainable economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the statement said.
Draghi renewed an invitation to Erdogan to attend the summit of G20 leaders taking place in Rome on 30-31 October, according to the statement.
"Particular attention was also paid to the developments of the intra-Libyan political process and the Libyan situation on the ground, the statement noted.
Draghi and Erdogan also discussed their countries' "excellent" bilateral relations and looked opportunities for bolstering Italy and Turkey's partnership in all sectors, the statement concluded.
