The municipal leader hailed the ever-closer relationship between the country and Italy across a wide range of fields, including politics, economy, diplomacy, national defense, science-technology, and education, VOV reported.

Moving forward, Hanoi will work closely with various departments and agencies to hold activities, especially for the opening and closing ceremonies of events, as part of the capital’s efforts to organize a wide range of important functions this year, including the 31st Southeast Asian Games and the 11th ASEAN Para Games.

Anh also voiced his hopes that through its rich cultural history, Italy will share its experience in holding festivals and sports events with Hanoi, thereby assisting the capital with its thorough preparations in the buildup to SEA Games 31 and ASEAN Para Games 11.

In response, Ambassador Alessandro expressed his confidence that through a solid foundation, relations between both nations will further develop in the future.

He added that many Italian firms enjoy strengths in terms of holding large-scale events, thereby promising to introduce them to Hanoi in order to share experience in this regard in the near future.

The Italian diplomat added his desire to bolster collaboration with Hanoi, particularly in the fields of cultural exchanges, heritage preservation, and the speeding up of construction progress on urban metro No.3.

Vietnam and Italy have upgraded their tie to strategic partnership since 2013.
