On June, 5th and 6th, the Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, visited the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

The Prime Minister spoke at the opening session of the 3rd High Level Dialogue on ASEAN-Italy Economic Relations, where he met with the Vietnamese Prime Minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, and spoke at the event "The Italian Technologies for Vietnam's Smart and Circular Economy", organized by the Institute for Foreign Trade in collaboration with the Italian Embassy in Hanoi.

He also visited Casa Italia, which since 2013 has been a centre for spreading the Italian culture, language, products and way of life in Vietnam, where the Vice-President and founder of CAE, Engineer Giancarlo Maria Pedrini, showed the Prime Minister the exposed meteorological monitoring station.

According to our Prime Minister, this mission resulted in a highly positive balance, as Vietnam is showing a strong economic growth, which at the moment is stable and above the 6% threshold. There are great opportunities for Italian businessmen, so it is important to continue to build a system with Vietnam which, as Italy's first trading partner in Asia, can be considered as a base which can allow us to enter the entire South-East Asian market.

Italy and Vietnam have recently celebrated their 45th anniversary of the beginning of diplomatic relations, and it has been 6 years now since a definite strategic relationship has been established, leading to the development of bilateral relations in many sectors. At a press conference, the Vietnamese Prime Minister, Nguyen Xuan Phuc, spoke of the intention, agreed with Prime Minister Conte, to invest in scientific and technological training, environmental protection, defence and security; the two countries also agreed to intensify cooperation to address global issues such as climate change and food security.
