As a result, awareness, consciousness, and responsibility among most officials, Party members, and residents regarding the role and importance of cultural development and building a civilized, elegant Hanoi identity have been significantly heightened. Hanoi’s efforts to cultivate and promote cultural values and human development have advanced comprehensively, exceeding targets in multiple areas.
