Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been in the spotlight this week with a major foreign policy push in the Middle East. According to Prensa Latina and The Media Line, Meloni attended the 46th Gulf Cooperation Council Summit in Manama, Bahrain, where she became the only European leader present, underscoring Italy’s growing role in Gulf affairs. At the summit, she announced plans to host a GCC–Middle East Summit in Italy, aiming to position the country as the gateway to Europe for Gulf states. She highlighted Italy’s $35 billion in annual economic ties with the region and emphasized Italy’s strategic interest in the India–Middle East Corridor, suggesting Trieste could become a crucial Mediterranean hub. Meloni also laid out three tracks for regional stability: advancing a Middle East peace framework, reaching a credible nuclear deal with Iran, and combating terrorism and extremism. She reiterated Italy’s support for a two-state solution and stressed that security and stability in the region are vital for Europe.

On the business front, gCaptain reports that Meloni attended the signing of a significant shipyard agreement in Bahrain between Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard and Italy’s Fincantieri, a deal framed as a state-level maritime strategy. Meanwhile, in Rome, Anadolu Agency notes Meloni has been vocal about European security, calling for the EU to achieve autonomous defense and reduce reliance on external powers, while reaffirming Italy’s support for Ukraine and a conditional stance on Palestinian statehood.

Back home, Balkanweb reports Meloni’s first public appearance since announcing the end of her 10-year marriage on social media, where she also addressed her political base with a message about personal and political resilience. In Milan, the Associated Press covers La Scala’s season opener with Shostakovich’s “Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk,” a Russian opera that drew commentary on art versus politics, though Meloni herself did not attend this year’s premiere.
