Luigi Di Maio has been appointed Honorary Professor of the Department of Defence Studies at King's College London.
Di Maio himself announced the news on his social media channels: "I will take on this new role with the aim of contributing to the dialogue on international security, Europe-Gulf relations, and geopolitical dynamics. A new challenge. Always with the same passion," wrote the former Italian Foreign Minister, now the EU Special Representative for the Gulf.
King's College is the fourth-oldest British university and is considered one of the most prestigious in the world. Twelve of its alumni and academics have been awarded the Nobel Prize.
