“I believe that during their stay in Hanoi, international reporters will recognise the hospitality of local people. The event is expected to open up many chances for Vietnam to step up international integration,” said the spokeswoman.
Regarding preparations for hosting more than 3,000 foreign reporters covering the summit, Hang said that relevant agencies have worked very hard to set up the international media centre in a short time.

Hang hoped that Hanoi will design activities for the reporters aiming to introduce the potential in development cooperation of the city in particular and Vietnam in general, while creating optimal conditions for the reporters to operate.
“We welcome Hanoi's initiative to run hop-on-hop-off buses from the media centre to major tourist sites in the city, so that foreign reporters can go on sightseeing tours and capture the most beautiful images of Hanoi,” she said.
