Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is ready to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron to help the two countries get past a diplomatic spat over rescue ships carrying migrants across the Mediterranean, Corriere della Sera reported.

“I never had issues with France and I don’t have them today,” Meloni said in an interview with the daily published on Tuesday. “But it is not written anywhere that Italy should be left alone and that it’s the only possible country of entry.”
