With an average economic growth rate of 6-7 per cent over the past 30 years, the Vietnamese market is viewed as a destination for Italian businesses, according to Italian ambassador to Vietnam Antonio Alessandro, who recently said the country can act as a bridge towards the rest of the Association of Southeast Asian nations (ASEAN) market.

The nation is also in the process of fully recovering from the impact of COVID-19 and represents a production base for Italian investment, he said.

The Vietnamese socio-economic development model brings positive stability to businesses, thereby earning plaudits from Italian enterprises, the envoy was quoted as saying by an Italian newswire.
