44th session of the FAO conference: Monaco reaffirms its commitment to ending world hunger

Participation de Monaco à la 44ème session de la Conférence de la FAO ©DR From 28 June to 4 July, the Principality of Monaco took part in the 44th session of the conference of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) in Rome, following on from the recent visit of the Director-General of the FAO to Monaco on 10 June.This conference, which assembles all FAO Member States every two years, addressed crucial issues for global food security and the transformation of sustainable agri-food systems. The discussions highlighted the vital importance of innovation in reaching the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the urgent need for greater collective solidarity to address current challenges.On the occasion of FAO's 80th anniversary, the conference officially launched the institutional renewal process, which may spark a series of organisational reforms in 2027.In this context, Monaco reaffirmed its full commitment to the FAO and its willingness to play an active role in future work aimed at providing the organisation with improved governance and the capacity to fulfil its mission as effectively as possible, in a challenging international climate marked in particular by a decline in funding from major donors, which is jeopardising the achievement of SDG No. 2 (Zero Hunger).Accordingly, the Principality, which is particularly committed to this SDG, recently ramped up its support for the FAO by joining the Flexible Voluntary Contribution Fund (FVC) in 2024 alongside twelve other partner countries. This fund was established to enable the organisation to be more adaptable to immediate challenges and to finance innovative projects.

The Ambassador

A Monégasque who was educated in London at the French Lycée, H.E. Mrs. Evelyne Genta has lived in the UK for the past 15 years.

In 2011, she became Ambassador of the Principality of Monaco to the Court of St. James’s to the United Kingdom which promotes all facets of the Principality: economy and finance, culture, humanitarian and environmental projects. Central to her core ambitions is to change any misconceptions people may have about the Principality:
‘Many think Monaco is a place where rich old people go to hide their money’, says H.E. Mrs. Evelyne Genta. ‘That's not true, but that old image has stuck like glue and we have to change it . Monaco is a wonderful place to live but is also a transparent regulated country.'

The Embassy

As a continuously innovative, culturally rich and developing country, Monaco wishes to engage with international community more freely and showcase its great heritage, diversity and wide-ranging expertise to the world.

Through communicating and acting abroad, Monaco can present all its facets, expanding relationships and quantifying its future in the process.

The United Kingdom and Monaco

The Principality has long held a unique bond with the UK. We are very close geographically and almost 15% of those living and working in Monaco are British. It is important to allow that special relationship to thrive by building bridges between the London and Monegasque communities. In return we have seen record numbers of new people, including young families, registering an interest in moving to the Principality and bringing their business with them.

In 2008, our Chamber for Economic Development signed a co-operation agreement with the London Chamber of Commerce.
