Viet Nam, Italy to strengthen legislative ties
Sunday, March 23, 2014
The agreement to establish a strategic partnership between Viet Nam and Italy created new co-operation opportunities for the parliaments of both countries, National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung said yesterday.
In particular, Viet Nam's National Assembly wished to strengthen bilateral parliamentary co-operation at regional and international forums, he said in talks held with Marina Sereni, Vice President of the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
Sereni responded with praise for the efficiency shown by the Vietnamese parliament, especially in approving the nation's new Constitution.
She concurred with Hung on the need for increased dialogue between the two countries in general and their parliaments in particular towards exchanging ideas and experiences.
The two sides also agreed that they would enhance their consultation mechanisms and forge closer bilateral co-operation at multilateral forums like the Asia-Europe Parliamentary Partnership (ASEP) and the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).
Hung invited Sereni to make an official visit to Viet Nam and attend the 132nd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union that Viet Nam will host in March 2015.
Earlier the same day, in a meeting with Italian President Giorgio Napolitano, Hung expressed the hope that Italy would facilitate the European Parliament's approval of the EU-Viet Nam Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA).
He sought similar support for the EU-Viet Nam Free trade agreement (FTA) so that it can be signed this year.
Napolitano said there was great potential to increase co-operation between Viet Nam and Italy, and said this should be done in ways that uses well the respective strengths of both nations.
Chairman Hung also met yesterday with Paolo Ferrero, secretary of Italy's Communist Refoundation Party as well as a delegation of the Viet Nam-Italy Parliamentary Friendship Group led by Italian Senator Pier Ferdinando Casini.
