On 20 November, Dato’ Zahid welcomed Amb. Massimo Rustico, former Italian Ambassador to Malaysia, at the Embassy. The visit was a chance to discuss enhancing Malaysia-Italy relations. Though formally retired from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Amb. Rustico remains a friend of Malaysia.
While at the Embassy, he also had a chance to meet Royal Malaysian Air Force officers from the Turin-based Maritime Patrol Aircraft Project Team, who were also visiting the Embassy.
