May 05, 2020 "The emergency develops on different dimensions: health, economic, geopolitical. And it is clear that this match must be tackled starting from collaboration between States, from the necessary transparency in communication and sharing of data on the virus". Defense Minister Lorenzo Guerini said in an interview with the Republic, who also claims that "sharing and circulating information about the virus are essential to allow the world to react to the pandemic with adequate action. There cannot be gray areas, opacity or lack of transparency ".

However, Guerini underlines, "we dialogue with everyone, but the pillars of our security are NATO and the European Union. And these remain" he reiterates speaking of the aid received by China and Russia, on which American Defense Secretary Mark warned yesterday Esper. Therefore China "is a world leader" and it is "natural and useful for our country for cooperation and trade". Having said that, "our European project and the Atlantic alliance remain our cornerstones, together with that multilateral vision that has always characterized Italy", points out the Minister of Defense on the theme of alliances.

In the phase of the health emergency, the international community has helped Italy. Europe, the United States, and other countries including China and Russia did it. This circumstance, however, does not change our traditional international framework in the least. "On the risk of hostile climbs," the defense of industrial and infrastructural realities is fundamental. It is no coincidence that the government has strengthened golden power, an important shield to allow companies to be sheltered from raids, from anywhere, aimed at attacking or acquiring our crucial assets, "notes Guerini. As for 5G," while ensuring technological potential , a principle always applies to me: safety comes before economic convenience ".
