The exhibition on 80-year national achievements must vividly portray Vietnam’s journey of safeguarding and building the nation, while inspiring national pride and aspiration as the country enters a new development era, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said on June 23.

Most of the unique festivals in northern Vietnam are held in the early days of the new spring, especially during the first lunar month.

Co Loa now is serving as not only a cultural relic and evidence of ancient Vietnamese’ creativeness and technical level, but also an ideal destination for visitors.

Scientists hold that it is necessary to build a temple dedicated to Ngo Quyen in Co Loa to help honour the national hero and sufficiently identify the value of the Co Loa Special National Relic.

Architects, historians and scientists discussed measures to preserve Co Loa - Hanoi’s oldest citadel - and promote its cultural and historical value at a conference in Hanoi last weekend.

A new exhibition centre will be built in Co Loa in the capital’s outlying district of Dong Anh following a recent government meeting in Hanoi.

A master plan for restoring the Co Loa spiral-shaped citadel in suburban Dong Anh district, Hanoi, was unveiled by the Ministry of Construction and the municipal People’s Committee on October 26.
