PM urges Italy to recognise COVID-19 vaccine passport.

Vietnamese Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính on Wednesday held phone talks with his Italian counterpart Mario Draghi, expressing delight at the development of the Việt Nam-Italy strategic partnership.

The two leaders agreed to strengthen exchanges at all levels, especially at high levels, and continue to promote the effectiveness of the Action Programme to implement the 2021-23 Strategic Partnership, cooperation mechanisms including the organization of the 4th Political Consultation, 7th Joint Committee on Economic Cooperation; and prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and the 10th anniversary of the strategic partnership between the two countries in 2023.

The two sides are pleased to see that after nearly two years of implementing the Việt Nam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), the two-way trade exchange has witnessed positive results.

In 2021, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, two-way trade value reached US$5.6 billion, up 20 percent compared to 2020.
