CONGRATULATORY MESSAGES OF PRESIDENT SERGIO MATTARELLA AND PRESIDENT TRAN DAI QUANG

Today, exactly 45 years ago, Italy and Vietnam established diplomatic relations.
To celebrate this important anniversary, the President of the Italian Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and the President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, Trần Đại Quang, exchanged the following messages:

 

Message from President Sergio Mattarella:

I wish to send you the most sincere congratulations on behalf of the Italian people and myself.

Vietnam and Italy are historically united by strong bonds of friendship, formalized on March 23, 1973. Since then – thanks to an intense pace of visits and regular high-level contacts – our relationships have developed harmoniously in all sectors. In 2013 they reached an important milestone with the signing of the strategic partnership agreement, a tangible expression of the common desire to provide the relationship between Hanoi and Rome with a political framework and an essential tool for deepening our collaboration.

Vietnam and Italy have achieved significant results also at multilateral level. I hope that on the basis of the common commitment of our countries to effectively address the global challenges we face, Hanoi and Rome can offer the international community an ever more incisive contribution also in the fight against climate change and in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Development .

In the glad memory of my State visit to Vietnam and of the one you paid to Italy, I renew my fervent wishes for well-being of your person and prosperity for the friendly Vietnamese people.

Message from President Trần Đại Quang:

On behalf of the Vietnamese Government and people, I wish to send my sincerest congratulations to you and to the Italian people.

I am pleased to see that in recent years the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Italy has developed very positively, witnessed by high-level visits and contacts between ministers, other institutions and entrepreneurs, as well as by the implementation of concrete projects in all sectors.

Based on the excellent and traditional relations of friendships and the political determination of the leaders of our countries, I am confident that the strategic partnership between Vietnam and Italy will be increasingly deepened and developed, to meet the common desire of our peoples for the prosperity of the two countries, peace, stability and growth in the two areas of the world.

I renew to you, Mr. President, my most fervent wishes for well-being, happiness and success.

I send my best regards to Your Excellency“.
