Naming the street after the famous Le Cong Hanh and People's Armed Forces Hero Doan Tue shows the deep gratitude of the Party, State and people to the nation's outstanding children, contributing to spreading the great values of our ancestors in terms of intelligence, patriotism and spirit of lifelong dedication to the country.

Previously, on July 20, 2025, the Hanoi People's Committee issued Decision No. 3862/QD-UBND naming, renaming, and adjusting the length of a number of roads, streets, and public works in the city in 2025, including Le Cong Hanh Street and Doan Tue Street.

Vice Chairwoman of Thuong Tin Commune People's Committee Uong Thi Phuong said that the ceremony of naming the street after the famous Le Cong Hanh and Hero of the People's Armed Forces Doan Tue, Thuong Tin Commune, Hanoi City is not simply for convenience in urban management, but each street name also integrates many typical cultural and historical values of national heroes, famous people, and meritorious people of the localities.

The commune has proactively developed plans, reviewed and prepared documents for naming and adjusting the length of new street names and public works according to procedures, ensuring progress and quality.

The proposal for the city to name streets helps people easily recognize transaction addresses, and at the same time has the meaning of promoting the traditional history and culture of the nation...
