Vietnam and Italy strengthen relations

This visit aims to step up the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Italy. Although the partnership was recently established in 2013, the two nations have actively taken part in various co-operation activities .

President Sergio Mattarella’s trip to Vietnam is the first official visit of an Italian President to the country. It will be an important boost for the strategic partnership between the two nations before the official signing of the Vietnam-EU FTA later this year.
