“Italy, with a long history and a splendid and ancient culture, has left humanity many symbols in culture, architecture, painting, sculpture, cuisine, and especially fashion”, added Chung.

The event "Vietnam - Italy Fashion Week", where ethnic cultures are connected, and value of handicrafts plus cultural values of fashion are emphasized, is also an opportunity where traditional solidarity and friendship between the people of the two countries are affirmed, Hanoi's Mayor stressed.
