Italy for India's greater role as regional player
The Hindu, 12 February 2007
Italy wants to see a greater role of India as a regional player
and wants to cooperate closely with it in creating a 'better world',
the Italian Prime Minister, Romano Prodi, said. "Regional cooperation
and integration are indispensible tools to adapt to global changes.
India has a major role to play in this process, not only as a regional
player, but as a bridge between different worlds, identities and
cultures," Prodi said at a special convocation of the Calcutta
University to confer the D.Litt (Honoris causa) on him.
