ANSA, a leading wire service in Italy, on Tuesday quoted Antonio Alessandro as saying that with an average economic growth rate of 6% to 7% over the past 30 years, the Vietnamese market is viewed as a destination for Italian businesses.

The nation is also in the process of fully recovering from the impact of COVID-19 and represents a production base for Italian investment, it said, adding that the country can act as a bridge towards the rest of ASEAN.

Ambassador Antonio affirmed that the Vietnamese socio-economic development model brings positive stability to businesses, thereby earning plaudits from Italian enterprises.

Italy is currently continuing to promote its national branding communication campaign launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy, of which Vietnam is one of the prioritized countries, with media content being translated into Vietnamese, Alessandro said.
