Meloni made a secret visit to the Gulf countries
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni recently made an official visit to the Gulf countries against the backdrop of the complex geopolitical situation in the Middle East. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Her trip includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Thus, Meloni became one of the first leading leaders from the European Union and NATO countries to be in the region.
The visit coincided with ongoing US and Israeli military actions against Iran, as well as rocket attacks in the region. This trip was planned secretly from a security standpoint.
According to Italian media, the country's intelligence services tried to dissuade the prime minister from such a dangerous trip. Nevertheless, Meloni met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Saudi Arabia and Amir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Qatar.
The visit to Kuwait was canceled due to security reasons. According to official information, Meloni's main goal is to strengthen political and economic ties with the Gulf countries and expand strategic cooperation.
Analysts point to global energy security as the main reason for this visit. The Gulf is an important center in the world for oil and gas reserves, and its influence significantly affects global prices.
Additionally, during the meetings, Meloni and the Qatari Amir discussed reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restoring energy facilities in the region damaged by Iranian attacks. Meloni promised to assist Qatar in this process.
This trip is emphasized as being of great importance not only for European and Southwestern politics but also for global energy stability.
