The aim of the Italy-Africa summit is to present Italy's idea of development for the African continent based on the Mattei Plan, Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni said on the eve of a conference at the Senate with the participation of 25 African leaders and representatives of the European Union institutions, referring to the planned new strategic partnership with African countries to address the root causes of irregular migration and beat smuggling gangs, and which also seeks to turn Italy into a sort of hub for energy supplies from Africa to Europe as the continent tries to reduce its dependency on Russian oil and gas supplies after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.
