Speaking to The Hanoi Times, UNESCO Vietnam Representative Jonathan W. Baker said he admired the personal connection in Hanoi.

The visit of the US President to Vietnam in September last year has paved the way for further cooperation between the two countries in a wide range of fields.

The city is currently joining the global trend of green, smart and circular development, welcoming the support of foreign partners, including those from the US.

The chief economist from the US Department of State commented on her trip to Vietnam – the last stop on her five-country tour last week.

Hanoi is regarded as the muse for the author, in which the preservation of cultural heritage and economic development go hand in hand.

Vietnam has made outstanding progress in improving the lives of its citizens.

The CFA is part of the UK Government's efforts to help Vietnam meet the commitments made by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh at COP26 in Glasgow in 2021.
