Vietnamese Commercial Counsellor Bui Vuong Anh praised the chapter’s efforts to arrange the significant event while expressing his heartfelt thanks for the valuable support provided by the Italian people for Vietnam during its previous revolutionary struggles and current national development and construction efforts.
He urged the chapter to continue organising meaningful events and thereby strengthen the bilateral relations and assist OVs living and working in Italy.
