In her opening speech, Vice Chairwoman of the People's Committee of Hanoi Vu Thu Ha said the 3-day event serves as an opportunity for the two cities to review the nation's heroic history, and share and promote the unique culture, potential, and people of each locality to the public and tourists.
The activities within the programme will help deepen the close bond between the country's biggest cities, strengthen comprehensive cooperation across all fields, and contribute to maximising their potential and strengths and affirming their role as the two leading economic centres of the country.
The programme offers a good chance for visitors to understand more about the history, unique culture, and heritage of the thousand-year-old capital, and the close relationship between Hanoi and HCM City.
Duong Ngoc Hai, Standing Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of HCM City, said the event is expected to further strengthen sustainable cooperation between the two localities, contributing to effectively utilising potential and advantages for comprehensive development in economic, cultural, social, investment, trade, education, and tourism sectors of the two sides.
Audiences enjoyed a documentary film introducing the capital providing a deep insight into the tradition and development of Hanoi, which were evoked through the symbol of traditional markets and cuisine, and cultural exchange activities./.
