Close to 300 Italian friends and overseas Vietnamese in Italy attended the annual function, which has been held every year by the association for the past 25 years.
The association’s president, Roberto Cocievari, praised Vietnam’s socio-economic achievements, which have helped it become one of the fastest-developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Vietnamese Minister Counsellor, Tran Xuan Thuy, took this occasion to thank the members of the Italy-Vietnam Friendship Association and its chapter in the Lombardia region for their valuable support and their solidarity towards the Vietnamese people since the two countries established diplomatic ties 35 years ago.
All proceeds from the gala diner go towards the building of a school for Vietnamese children.
