“Celebrating the 1,000th founding anniversary of Thăng Long-Hà Nội not only means to construct grandiose buildings, but also, more fundamentally and profoundly, to make the society more beautiful, to beautify each and every person’s soul, awareness and behavior,” said Vice Chairperson of the municipal People’s Committee Ngô Thị Thanh Hằng.

At the campaign launching ceremony, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Phạm Quang Nghị asked agencies and people to raise awareness of emulative movements and popularize cultural, sports and tourism activities.

The campaign is part of the Thăng Long–Hà Nội Cultural Festival and the sum-up of the Municipal Party Committee’s Program 08 on cultural development.
