"The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is pleased to extend its congratulations to Giorgia Meloni on assuming the high office of Prime Minister of Italy. Prime Minister Meloni is personally known to the NIAF as a great friend and supporter of the Italian American community and a steadfast ally of the United States.

As a foundation dedicated to serving as a bridge across the Atlantic, we look forward to working closely with Prime Minister Meloni and her administration to further strengthen the already close cultural, economic, and diplomatic bonds that exist between Italy and America," said NIAF Chairman Robert E. Carlucci.
