The meeting was followed by a brief press conference. On behalf of the Parliament Tajani expressed sympathy with all those affected by the terrorist attack in London on 22 March: “The attack is a tragic reminder that we must work more closely than ever to fight terrorism and prevent radicalisation.”

Saying he had a good meeting with Khan, Tajani added: “On Saturday, while we celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, thousands of citizens showed their support for the European Union in the streets of London. This showed us that London is truly open and multicultural and a real European city. It should make us proud.”
