PRESS ACCREDITATION NOTE
G7 Development Ministers’ Meeting
(Pescara – 22-24 October 2024)
From Tuesday 22 to Thursday 24 October 2024, the G7 Development Ministers’ Meeting will be held in Pescara, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani.
The meeting aims to strengthen international humanitarian coordination in the Middle East, particularly addressing the difficult situation in Lebanon and Gaza, and to consolidate a new strategic approach towards Africa, promoted by our country, based on equitable partnerships and shared economic growth. The Italian Presidency has chosen to focus the work in Pescara on three priority themes: food security and sustainable agri-food systems, sustainable infrastructure and investments, and global health.
In particular, the G7 Ministers and their guests will follow up on the commitments made by the Leaders in the Final Communiqué of Borgo Egnazia concerning the G7 Food Systems Initiative (AFSI), specifically regarding the connections between climate and agri-food systems, between finance and climate, and the crucial issue of child malnutrition. The Ministers will then focus on the topic of food assistance in the Middle East to identify shared solutions to the urgent humanitarian needs of the civilian population. Discussions will also cover access to water resources and new strategies for the sustainability of coffee value chains, with particular attention to African farmers. Regarding global infrastructure and investments, the G7 Ministers will address projects with high transformative potential and possible synergies with the Mattei Plan and the EU’s Global Gateway. Common strategies will also be explored in the fields of education, health, and reducing inequalities.
