Recalled ambassador set to return to Rome

-

France’s ambassador to Italy is set to return to Rome on Friday after being recalled for a week as a protest, but analysts warn that relations between the two neighbors are likely to remain rocky. France announced on Feb 7 that it was recalling its ambassador to protest “unfounded attacks and outlandish claims” by Italy’s coalition government, as well as an unannounce­d visit to France by Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio. European Affairs Minister Nathalie Loiseau said on Friday that “he will return today to Rome”. Relations between the two countries are at their lowest level since the end of World War II.
