Hanoi becomes a safe and friendly destination after 25 years of being recognised as ‘City For Peace’
In 1999, Hanoi was among five cities in five continents presented with the “City for Peace” award by the UNESCO to recognise its contributions to the struggle for peace as well as its development that meet the organisation’s standards of equality in the community, the urban construction, living environment protection, culture and education promotion, and care for young generations. Since then, Hanoi has had many positive changes, becoming a "safe - friendly" destination and winning highly appreciation from international community. Photo: VNA
