In World day against homophobia, transphobia and biphobia (IDAHOT), dedicated this year to the theme “No one left behind: equality, freedom and justice for all“, the Vice President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Hon. Antonio Tajani, wanted to meet the representatives of the “Globe MAE” Association, a network made up of LGBTI employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

During the meeting, Minister Tajani recalled how “the fight against all forms of discrimination is an integral part of Italy's commitment to the protection and promotion of human rights at an international level, within the United Nations, the European Union and the Council of Europe”.

“Human rights are universal and inviolable and must always be guaranteed to all, without distinction or discrimination”, Tajani continued, reiterating “the sincere hope that consensual relations between adults of the same sex will be decriminalized in all countries of the world”.

"The fight against discrimination - concluded the Vice President of the Council - it is a fundamental commitment of the Government and represents a fundamental aspect in the construction of inclusive, peaceful and respectful societies of diversity, so that all people, without distinction, are enabled to actively contribute to the growth and development of their community and their country , also in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals".
