Foreign Policy

Italy's foreign policy balances Atlanticism, European integration, and Mediterranean engagement. Under PM Meloni, Italy has pursued a more assertive approach to migration (the Mattei Plan for Africa) and maintained strong transatlantic ties. Italy is one of NATO's largest European contributors.

Key priorities include energy security (diversifying from Russian gas via Mediterranean pipelines and LNG), Mediterranean stability, and leveraging its G7 presidency (2024) on AI governance and Africa partnership.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Italy, leverage your G7 membership, EU founding status, and role as host of UN food agencies. Lead on food security, migration governance, and Mediterranean stability.

Coordinate with EU and NATO allies, with France and Germany as key partners. Push the Mattei Plan as a model for Europe-Africa partnership. Use your cultural heritage and soft power -- Italy's cultural diplomacy is world-class. On migration, advocate for comprehensive approaches combining development, border management, and legal pathways.
