JOINT PRESS ACCREDITATION NOTE
On 7 March 2023, the second day of the XIV Plenary Meeting of the Guardia di Finanza Expert Officers on duty abroad will be held at the Farnesina in the International Conference Room. The works will start at 10.00 a.m. with the welcome speeches by the Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Ambassador Riccardo Guariglia, and the Commander General of the Guardia di Finanza, General Giuseppe Zafarana.
