Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Cecilia Piccioni told Chairman of Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung on Wednesday that the 45th anniversary is an important milestone in bilateral relations, and asked for support from Hanoi’s administration so that the celebration will be a success. She said the special event, to be held at the Dien Hong flower garden in Hanoi’s center, will be a fashion show featuring works by Italian designers and Vietnamese silk-making artisans. The ambassador asked for permission from the Hanoi People’s Committee’s Chairman to restore the original look of the garden, which is near the Italian Embassy and has been dubbed the Italian corner of Vietnam by embassy staff. Chairman Chung pledged coordination with the Italian Embassy for the successful organization of the special event.
