We report the serendipitous detection with the INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI camera of the accretion powered millisecond pulsar XTE J1751-305 during the Galactic centre region observation from 2007:04:03T11:47 to 2007-04-04T20:31. XTE J1751-305 was always less than 8 degrees from the pointing direction and it is clearly detected in the 20-40 keV energy band at a flux level of 27 mCrab on 2007-04-03 (between 18:36 and 21:08 UT).
In the mosaic image of the whole Galactic centre region observation of about 100 ks, the source
has been detected both in the 20-40 and 40-80 keV band with a flux of 18 and 16 mCrab, respectively. This renewed activity has also been observed by RXTE (ATEL #1045) detection on 04 Apr 2007 17:30 UT.
INTEGRAL will continue to observe this region in the next days.
