Italian PM begins visit to Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni began a surprise visit to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar Friday to boost "national energy security," a government source said, as the Middle East war rages.

Meloni began her previously unannounced tour in the Red Sea port city of Jeddah, the reports said, adding that she was the first leader of a European Union or NATO country to visit the region.
