The Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Giorgio Silli, took part today in Gaeta at the closing session of the Italy\u2013Latin America SME Forum on the Lazio agri-food supply chain, an event promoted by the Italo\u2013Latin American Institute in cooperation with the Lazio Region and the Regional Agency for the Development and Innovation of Agriculture.<\/p>\n
Undersecretary Silli highlighted the strategic importance of Latin America, both for the depth of its historic ties with Italy and for the growing opportunities for economic and trade cooperation with our country. In 2024, Italy exported goods to the region worth EUR 20.9 billion, an increase of 6.7% compared to 2023. Of this, EUR 1.2 billion related to the agri-food sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are encouraging figures, which are prompting our SMEs \u2013 and in particular those based in Lazio \u2013 to take an ever greater interest in Latin America,\u201d Silli remarked, noting that Lazio\u2019s agri-food exports have shown consistent and significant growth in recent years. In 2024, exports reached EUR 1.7 billion, up 18.4% on the previous year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a particularly favourable moment, which the Italian Foreign Ministry intends to build upon further through the inclusion of Latin America in the Action Plan for Italian Exports \u2013 a new growth diplomacy strategy strongly promoted by Minister Tajani \u2013 topics that we will also be discussing at the upcoming Italy\u2013Latin America and Caribbean Conference,\u201d Silli concluded.<\/p>\n
