Italy's foreign minister Luigi Di Maio is talking part in the Energy Transition Dialogue conference in Berlin through Wednesday, the foreign ministry said in a statement.
Di Maio was also due to hold talks with German counterpart Annalena Baerbock on the sidelines of the conference, where the nearly-five-week-old conflict between Russia and Ukraine and Europe's current dependency on Russian gas is at the centre of discussions.
Germany has already halved its imports of Russian fossil fuels in recent weeks, especially of coal, and will completely phase these out, Baerbock told the Berlin conference on Wednesday.
