(Adnkronos) – As part of reforms to simplify the foreign ministry and put trade and economic development at the heart of Italy’s foreign policy, a Directorate-General for Growth and an administrative simplification unit will start operations in the New Year, foreign minister Antonio Tajani said on Tuesday.
“From 1 January, the foreign ministry will change and will have an economic as well as a political branch, with a Directorate-General for Growth (and Export Promotion)’, Tajani told the national assembly of Italy’s small-to-medium-sized businesses, Confesercenti, in Rome.
In addition, a new administrative simplification unit will aim to provide increasing services to citizens and entrepreneurs,” Tajani stated.
“All those who work abroad or have contacts with foreign countries will have precise reference-points,” he said.
“No one working outside our national borders should feel unsupported,” Tajani underlined.
