Italy, Spain to spearhead new EU migration pact - minister

Italy and Spain are working on ways to spearhead a new European Union pact on migration and agree that the Mediterranean is an economic opportunity for both countries, not just a "crisis zone", foreign minister Luigi Di Maio wrote on Friday.

In a Facebook post after talks in Madrid with his Spanish counterpart Arancha Gonzalez, Di Maio wrote: "It was a pleasure to meet with her and discuss how to strengthen cooperation between Italy and Spain."

"We will be together at the front line in giving impetus to a new European immigration pact," the post added.

Di Maio and Gonzalez have already been working on these objectives for some weeks, the post stated.

"We also discussed the Mediterranean and agreed that the region must not just be viewed as a crisis zone but as a chance for economic development for our two countries," the post added.

After Greece, Italy and Spain are the main entry points to Europe for boat migrants arriving from North Africa and want other European countries to take in their fair share of the influx.
