(VOVworld) - A large number of Italian business people, scholars, and economists attended a workshop on the Vietnamese economy and investment climate held late last week in the southern Italian city of Sorrento, as part of Sorrento Meeting 2014.
Addressing the function, Vu Viet Ngoan, Chairman of Vietnam’s National Financial Supervisory Commission, underlined Vietnam’s policies on international integration and creating a favourable business environment for foreign investors based on the principles of ‘win-win’ and long-term benefit.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Italy Nguyen Hoang Long noted great potential in trade and investment between Vietnam and Italy and between Vietnam and Southern Europe, now that the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement is about to be signed.
It was revealed at the workshop that some 200 Italian businessmen from 140 companies will visit Vietnam later this month to conduct market research and seek potential partners on the occasion of a meeting of the Vietnam-Italy joint committee for economic development.
