One of the key breakthroughs for Hanoi’s development is urban transportation, including ongoing urban railway projects, Hanoi’s mayor Chu Ngoc Anh has said.

The dual target of both containing the Covid-19 pandemic and boosting economic recovery continues to be Hanoi’s utmost priority, said Hanoi’s mayor.

During the 2016 – 2020 period, Hanoi’s GRDP is estimated to have expanded by an average of 7.39%, resulting in income per capita of US$5,420 in 2020, 1.8 times the national average.

Hanoi’s major political event gathers the participation of 497 delegates representing over 45,000 Party members of the municipal Party Committee.

For this year, the city targets an economic growth rate in a range of 4.5% - 5% to ensure an expansion 1.3 times the national average.

The development of the knowledge economy, urban economy and innovative startups is priority of Hanoi, stated the city’s recently-elected mayor.

The newly appointed chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee said he is committed to serving the people and listening to the public to ensure efficiency in the city’s governance.

Appointing a candidate for the new chairman of the Hanoi city government is said to be a thorough and unanimous decision by the country’s most powerful body – Politburo.

With this decision, Minister of Science and Technology Chu Ngoc Anh could set to become Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee.
