HANOI, (PNA/VNS) — Vietnam plans to open another economic office in Lombardy in 2014, expanding its presence in the most economically developed and industrialized region in Italy.
The office establishment was agreed during a meeting between Vietnamese Ambassador to Italy Nguyen Hoang Long and Lombardy regional president Roberto Maroni in Italy on Friday.
Lombardy is Italy’s economic center, contributing 25 per cent of the country’s GDP. Viet Nam’s economic office will be based in Milan and will aim to help businesses from both countries capitalize on the potential of their respective markets and promote investment co-operation.
