Giorgia Meloni s remarks, made at the Ambrosetti Forum in northern Italy s Cernobbio city on Saturday - where she also held a meeting with the visiting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky - came less than 48 hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin also highlighted India s efforts in solving the ongoing crisis in the region.

This is what I also said to my Chinese counterparts, we must choose, because the two things do not go together, it is also the reason why I think that in the end nations, like China and India, can play a role and must play a role in resolving the conflict in Ukraine, said Giorgia Meloni.
