Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman arrives in Italy Monday on his first trip abroad, the Italian foreign ministry said Saturday.

He will have talks with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and Foreign Minister Franco Frattini during his two-day stay in Rome, and will give a press conference Monday with Frattini.

His office said Thursday that Lieberman would also be visiting the Czech Republic, France and Germany on his first foreign tour since being sworn in.
