Additionally, Alessandro assisted in cooperation activities in education and training between Hanoi Law University and various educational institutions in Italy, Hung added.

Ambassador Alessandro expressed his honour to receive the insignia, and said he firmly believes that the Italy-Vietnam relationship will keep growing.

He took the occasion to thank the Ministry of Justice and competent Vietnamese agencies for their effective support and cooperation during his tenure in Vietnam.

He affirmed his commitment to continuing to do his best to enhance the relationship between the two countries./.
