Vietnam, Italy promote trade, investment co-op

HANOI, June 8 (Xinhua) -- A seminar to exchange experience and promote cooperation between Vietnamese and Italian businesses was held here on Wednesday by the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) and Italian embassy in Vietnam.

Cooperation between Vietnam and Italy has witnessed new development. The two sides have taken full advantages of each other's potential to boost trade and investment. However, the two- way trade turnover in recent years has not yet met both sides' potential, MPI Deputy Minister Dang Huy Dong said at the seminar.
