The offer is the result of the efforts of senior leaders, including Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, who sent a letter to Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi asking for vaccine support, and demonstrates the vitality of the Vietnam-Italy strategic partnership and the solidarity Italian people feel with Vietnam.
