“Italians have entrusted us with a relevant responsibility, and it will be our task to not let them down and to make our best to restore the nation`s dignity and pride,” Meloni said.
“We will aim at unifying and at highlighting what can bring us close, not what divides us,” she added.
In an interview with Reuters, Meloni compared her party to the US Republican Party and Britain’s Conservative Party.
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Wednesday, congratulated Giorgia Meloni for winning the general elections in Italy.
Modi said that he looks forward to work with Meloni to strengthen ties between India and Italy.
