The year 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Italy and the 10th anniversary of the two countries raising their relations to a strategic partnership. Over the past 50 years, the world has undergone many great changes and yet, the relationship between the two countries has developed actively, comprehensively and deepened in all fields, especially in economic and trade. If in 2013, two-way trade turnover only reached USD 1.4 billion, by 2022 the turnover has reached USD 6.2 billion. Vietnam is Italy’s largest trading partner in ASEAN and Italy is Vietnam’s fourth largest EU partner. Officials of the two countries shared the view that the economic cooperation between Vietnam and Italy is increasingly prosperous and has strong potential for development.
To bring you more specific information about Vietnam – Italy economic cooperation, VITV had a conversation with Mr. Michele D’Ercole – President of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM).
