On Friday, February 7, Monaco's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Isabelle Berro-Amadeï, hosted an important diplomatic engagement with Italy's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani. The working lunch served as a platform to reinforce the longstanding ties between the two nations, highlighting a mutual commitment to enhance bilateral relations.

During the discussions held in Monaco, the ministers focused on several key areas including economic and administrative cooperation. Acknowledging the significant contribution of the Italian community to Monaco’s economic vitality, both parties looked forward to the third meeting of the Italo-Monegasque Joint Administrative Cooperation Commission, scheduled to be held in Monaco in the near future. Such meetings are pivotal in strengthening the framework for collaborative initiatives.

The dialogue also ventured into cultural and educational cooperation, with specific attention to promoting Italian heritage and language in Monaco. The Italian Embassy in Monaco was noted as a vital entity in boosting cultural exchanges and educational programs, with an emphasis on integrating the Italian language more profoundly into Monaco's educational curriculum. This initiative is seen as a key step in fortifying the cultural bridge linking the two European neighbors.
