The Italian city of Torino wants to further step
up co-operation with Vietnam in economics, culture and education, Chairman of
the Municipal Council Giovani Ferraris has said.
Ferraris delivered the statement at a ceremony to
erect President Ho Chi Minh’s statue at the Vietnamese Honorary Consulate in
Torino on October 14, which was also attended by Vietnamese Honorary Consul
Sandra Scagliotti.
The city’s authorities are willing to support and
co-operate with the Vietnam Study Centre and the Vietnamese Honorary Consulate
in activities to promote Vietnamese culture and raise understanding about
Vietnam among the local people, Ferraris said.
He also expressed his respect for President Ho
Chi Minh, saying that the Italian people always have a respect for the
President as well as sentiments towards the Vietnamese people.
On the evening of the same day, a concert was
held under the baton of Enrico Intra, who organised a concert in 1962 to raise
funds for Agent Orange/dioxin victims in Vietnam.
The Vietnam Study Centre in Torino has a library
with about 4,000 books about Vietnam. This is the only library about Vietnam in
Italy to help the Vietnamese community and the Italian people to study and
learn about Vietnam as well as President Ho Chi Minh.
