Tajani said the meeting could take place "as early as next week".
Meanwhile, reports said French president Macron will hold "tough talks" with the Facebook boss over data privacy in Paris when Zuckerberg visits the city next week.
Zuckerberg is set to visit France for a technology meet next Wednesday. The French president will hold one-to-one meet with the Facebook chief, reports said.
Last month Zuckerberg had answered questions to a US congressional committee over data hacking allegedly carried out by Cambridge Analytica, a UK-based company which reportedly used Facebook data during President Trump's US presidential campaign in 2016.
