“They are both well-trained officials, who are always active and creative in their work and have the practical experience to successfully fulfill their tasks,” Ngoc Anh said.

The Hanoi mayor also believes that the newly-appointed directors will keep promoting their strengths, especially in the context that the capital city is making efforts to prevent and control the Covid-19 pandemic.

For their parts, Tran The Cuong and Do Dinh Hong said they will do their best, be the nucleus of solidarity and unity at the grassroots to best perform the responsibility assigned by the city’s leaders, and be worthy of the local people's trust.
