Deputy foreign minister Emanuela Del Re and United Nations Industrial Development Organisation director-general Li Yong on Wednesday discussed further strengthening Italy's cooperation with the UN agency - especially in the agriculture sector - during a meeting in Rome.
During her talks with Li at the Exco2019 overseas aid trade fair in Rome, Del Re signalled Italy's special interest in Unido projects involving a new partnership approach with the private sector such as a project aimed at de-risking investments in the Ethopian coffee sector.
Li praised Del Re for the Exco2019, the first and only fair of its kind which has drawn representatives from institutions and from the private sector from all over the world.
