On the afternoon of May 17, Mr. Huynh Van Loi, Deputy Director of the Department of Culture and Sports of Binh Dinh province, said that the People's Committee of Binh Dinh province has just issued a document agreeing to the department's proposal to name Nobel Avenue and honor Nobel Prize-winning scientists who have come to Quy Nhon City in recent years.
