He informed Lollobrigida, who is also a Politburo member of the Brothers of Italy Party, about Vietnam's significant socio-economic achievements over nearly 40 years of reforms, particularly in the agricultural sector.
Host and guest discussed several major directions and measures to expand and improve the effectiveness of bilateral collaboration, with party-to-party relations between the CPV and political parties in Italy playing a crucial role.

He stressed the importance of outlining specific orientations to the further development of bilateral relations, including increasing contacts and exchanges through the party channels and promoting agriculture cooperation between businesses.
The minister concurred with Trung on the need for the two countries to continue fostering political trust and people-to-people exchanges, and making strong changes in all-around coordination, especially agriculture in which Italy boasts expertise.
