Ha Noi will attempt to achieve an economic growth rate of 10 per cent in 2010, Nguyen The Thao, chairman of the Municipal People's Committee, told Hai Quan (Customs) newspaper. To ensure the target is met, what measures are to be introduced? 2009 was a difficult year for the whole country and Ha Noi was no exception. Yet we were still able to achieve 7 per cent growth rate. This was a firm base for us to set a 10 per cent growth rate for 2010, while ensuring that the consumer price index (CPI) remains in single digits. To achieve the target, the city should maximise all its available resources, including capital, human resources, science and technology, culture and others while calling for support from the outside, including foreign friends. 2010 is a very important year for Viet Nam, particularly Ha Noi, as we are going to celebrate the 1,000th founding anniversary of the city on October 10. On April 15, the City People's Committee launched a special patriotic role-model movement … [Read more...] about Ha Noi prepares to maximise resources, achieve 10% growth

Unconsciously, drivers slow down to enjoy the cool air pervaded with dracontomelum and lichee flowers. The scene is soon chased away by the traffic. … [Read more...] about French Villas – The Charm of Ha Noi
