Foreign minister Luigi Di Maio on Tuesday thanked the many countries - most recently Slovakia- that have sent medical supplies, equipment and health workers to help Italy fight its dramatic Coronavirus outbreak.
"If we are now beginning to see light at the end of the tunnel, it is because other countries that are friends of ours have not abandoned us. Thank you!" Di Maio wrote on Facebook.
Di Maio's post thanked Slovakia for sending humanitarian assistance to Italy on Monday aboard a special flight.
"(Slovakian) foreign minister Ivan Korcok wrote to me saying the medical aid was sent a a symbol of European solidarity in the fight with Covid-1," the post stated.
Without such aid "from various countries around the word," Italy "would never have made it", the post underlined.
