Eurasia Diary conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Giampaolo Cutillo, Ambassador of Italy to Azerbaijan.Mr. Giampaolo Cutillo talked about many important issues including the result of election in USA and President Donald Trump as well.

Eurasia Diary: If possible, I would like to ask you as a career diplomat in United States about the presidential elections that took place and ended yesterday. As we know, Italy has a large lobby in the United States. Italy-born citizens play an important role in United States foreign and domestic policy as well as in economic development. So from your viewpoint, what is the meaning of Trump presidency for Italy that is one of the most important countries in EU and for large Italian lobby in US?

Mr. Giampaolo Cutillo: I would say the Italian community in the United States is traditionally a strong one and it is part of a very wide, complex, multicultural and multiethnic society. It is one of the communities with definite influence on American politics. As to the election of the President I think this is something which has come at the end of an hard fought campaign .We all have been witnesses to that. The fact is that we have a new American President which I seen has been congratulated by most of the world leaders including from Europe and from Italy. Of course, United States of America is one of the most important partners for us, as Italy and for the European Union. There is no doubt that we will continue to work with them, I mean along the same values, principles and interests that have held us together at least for the last 70 years. We will continue along that path and we wish President Donald Trump will do a very good job in the interest of his country and also for the whole international community.

Eurasia Diary will publish the full version of the interview tomorrow ,in 11 November.
