Premier Matteo Renzi will be on hand for Expo 2015's "Expo of Ideas" event at Milan's Hangar Bicocca art museum on February 7, Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina said Monday.
"More than 500 people will meet and work together towards the Milan Charter," Martina said, referring to the document which will bind countries to food and development related objectives.
The Charter will be delivered to United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon when he visits the Milan world's fair in October.
Martina said the Milan Charter will be like the Kyoto Protocol on climate change, but for food.
Agriculture ministers from countries attending Expo are due to sign the charter June 4 at an international forum.
