Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani issued a statement regarding the appointment of Luke Lindberg as the new Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).

Tajani said, “I congratulate Luke Lindberg, who was appointed today as the new Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme.”

Noting that the Italian government has worked actively in recent years with the Rome-based WFP, which combats food crises around the world, Tajani said that trucks and tons of food had been provided to enable the WFP to distribute aid within Gaza.

Tajani said, “Our country will continue to stand by the organization in Sudan and other crisis areas. We will strengthen our cooperation with the United Nations organization, which today operates in 83 countries around the world and provides support to at least 100 million people.”
