On the evening of May 31, the Consulate General of Italy in Ho Chi Minh City held a ceremony to celebrate the 78th anniversary of Italy's National Day (June 2, 1946 - June 2, 2024).

Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Bui Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, highly appreciated the Italian Government for actively supporting Vietnam's struggle for independence and the process of innovation, economic development, and poverty reduction in Vietnam through participating in funding health and education projects...

Italy currently ranks 26th out of 122 countries and territories investing in Ho Chi Minh City.
