"FAO stands shoulder to shoulder with Italy in the fight against the COVID-19 virus," FAO chief Qu Dongyu tweeted.
"And it (FAO) hopes to work together on food security and healthy diets through the G20, the Food Systems Summit and the newly launched Food Coalition," the tweet continued.

Italy proposed the Food Coalition and will promote it during its G20 presidency next year.
