Hanoi aspires to break through.

The spirit and determination for victory have always been the source of strength for Hanoi to overcome all difficulties and challenges, creating major breakthroughs in socio-economic development, urbanization, culture, and welfare, helping to shape a civilized, modern capital city, a smart, dynamic, and integrated city.

Seventy years is not a long time compared to the thousands of years of history of Thang Long - Hanoi , but since the autumn of 1954, the cultural traditions, the courageous spirit forged through two wars of resistance, and the aspiration for progress have formed a solid foundation, contributing to the strength and momentum that has enabled Hanoi to make a powerful transformation, worthy of the great trust and hope of the entire nation. Each great achievement of Hanoi over the past 70 years is a vivid image of the "unity of purpose, consensus, and contribution" of the Central Government and localities throughout the country to Hanoi, so that the capital city becomes increasingly "peaceful, joyful, and prosperous," as President Ho Chi Minh once advised.

Looking at Hanoi at this moment, one can see that the former capital, now the capital, still retains many familiar images, but is also shining brightly with a new posture, a new appearance, and new vitality. The achievements Hanoi has made are immense, meeting the needs of the strong development of a multi-functional city.

Hanoi today is not only the national political and administrative center, a major center for economy, culture, education and training, science, and technology, but also the birthplace of many outstanding domestic and international talents, attracting many leading global corporations and investors, and is an important growth engine in the country's integration and globalization process.

A multitude of construction projects, skyscrapers, and new urban areas have sprung up; along with expressways, ring roads, radial roads, monumental bridges, and a modern public transportation system, not only creating convenient connections within the city but also linking Hanoi with neighboring provinces and cities, making the capital city more beautiful and worthy of being called the "heart of the nation".

In its continuous journey towards becoming a smart, innovative city of international stature, Hanoi has effectively utilized new resources to meet the requirements of long-term, green, harmonious, and sustainable development. And no matter how much it develops or how urbanizes, Hanoi still retains its thousand-year-old cultural beauty, a peaceful and safe environment; it still maintains its unique "brands" – a capital city with a thousand years of history and culture, a "Heroic Capital," a "City for Peace," a "Creative City" – to further develop its potential and strengths, aiming to become a city with a high quality of life, comprehensive and sustainable economic, cultural, and social development; a globally connected city with international competitiveness…

The 70th anniversary of the Liberation of Hanoi is not only an occasion for the people of Hanoi in particular, and the entire nation in general, to reflect on the values of history and feel even more proud of the achievements of the country and the heroic capital, but also an opportunity to continue spreading the spirit of the people of Hanoi in today's context. While the road ahead may still present many challenges, the love, aspirations, and faith that the people of the entire country have placed in Hanoi; the courage, solidarity, and indomitable will to never retreat in the face of difficulties continue to guide the way, serving as a foundation and a connecting source, fostering creativity, and working together to achieve the goals set for building a "Cultural - Civilized - Modern" capital.

On the journey towards the future, the immense resources of culture, science, technology, and the people of the capital city, along with the achievements of the past 70 years, especially the 40 years of reform, are the solid foundation and springboard for Hanoi to continue developing into a green, smart, modern city with its own identity, worthy of regional and global recognition.
