Undersecretary Tripodi welcomes Zahid Rastam, Chair of the ASEAN Committee, in Rome

Italy’s Undersecretary of State to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Maria Tripodi today received Zahid Bin Tan Sri Rastam – current Chair of the Rome Committee of Representatives of the member countries of ASEAN, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations that has been promoting political, economic, and cultural cooperation in the region since 1967 – at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“The stability and prosperity of this macro-region figure prominently on the agenda of the Italian G7 Presidency,” Tripodi emphasised, expressing satisfaction with the progress of the G7 partnership, particularly in the areas of cybercrime, cultural heritage protection, maritime law and anti-piracy, and space and blue economy development – activities supported by Italy through a contribution of EUR 200,000 to the OECD “South-East Asia Regional Programme”.

“To keep the G7 partnership up to global challenges, it is necessary to constantly engage in new projects,” added the Undersecretary, who highlighted Italy’s ongoing commitment – in line with EU efforts – to restoring peace and a democratic government in Myanmar.
