Foreign Minister Tajani urges continued vigilance against terrorism and illegal migration

On the milestone of the 2001 attacks, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani delivered a video message emphasizing that the West has successfully countered jihadist terrorism yet must never lower its guard. He urged authorities to focus on areas where extremist networks are taking root, specifically citing sub-Saharan Africa and Somalia as priority zones for prevention. Tajani connected the security agenda to the challenge of irregular migration, warning that terrorists could exploit such pathways to reach Europe.

He advocated for coordinated efforts to stop infiltration and to promote peace as a means to combat hatred and violence. The minister called for sustained Western cohesion to address these intertwined threats.
