(VOVworld) - Italy’s Lombardy business community perceives the Asian emerging market economies, particularly Vietnam, the perfect place to invest and expand business operations. 

The statement was made by Vice President of Lombardy Industrial Federation (Assolombarda) Alessandro Spada at the inauguration ceremony of a Vietnamese trade office in Lombardy on Friday. The opening of the trade office coincided with a seminar on Vietnam-Italy investment promotion held on the same day. At the seminar, President of the Lombardy Investment Promotion Agency Riccardo Maria Monti pointed out the fact that Vietnam has a stable political and social climate, and a government inclined to grant many incentives for foreign investors. For his part, Vietnamese Minister of Planning and Investment Bui Quang Vinh said that Vietnam is willing to support Italian companies in seeking investment opportunities and doing business in Vietnam. During the seminar, Vinh and Lombardy business officials cut the ribbon to open the Vietnamese trade and economic office in Milan, Lombardy.
