The leaders of Italy, France and Germany have been meeting on board the Italian aircraft carrier ‘Garibaldi.’ <br /><br /> The trio planned to discuss several topics such as the migrant crisis as well as securing Europe’s internal and external borders following a string of Islamist militant attacks. <br /><br /> Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi addressed reporters at a news conference.<br /><br /> “Many thought that after Brexit Europe was over. Not so. We respect the choice of the British people, but we want to write a page for the future. And that’s why internal security, external security, the fight for a common Defense, cooperation between intelligence services, better integration of national Defense industries, the project for an European Community for security are our top priorities,” said Renzy.<br /><br /> Earlier the three leaders laid a wreath on the tomb of the Italian intellectual Altiero Spinelli, who is seen as one of the fathers of European unity. <br /><br /> French President Francois Hollande called for strengthening community education programmes such as Erasmus, which marks its thirtieth anniversary next year.<br /><br /> He said such student schemes for Europeans help young people learn to discover.<br />
