Italy's foreign minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi was due to attend the European Union General Affairs Council in Brussels on Tuesday, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Tuesday's General Affairs Council meeting is being chaired by the Romanian EU presidency. Its agenda includes the EU's 2021-2027 budget and the 20-21 June summit of the bloc's leaders where high-level institutional appointments following this week's European parliamentary elections will top the agenda.
EU foreign ministers attend the monthly General Affairs Council meetings and - depending on the agenda - European affairs ministers as well.
