The Prime Minister visited the sites in Dong Anh District on October 25 to assess their progress and outline expectations.
The new National Exhibition Center, covering 90 hectares across Dong Hoi and Xuan Canh communes, commenced construction two months ago, led by Vietnam Exhibition Fair Center JSC with significant investment from Vingroup.
Designed to alleviate crowding at the smaller Giang Vo facility in Ba Dinh District, this expansive new complex is set to feature an indoor exhibition hall inspired by the mythical Golden Turtle, split into nine zones across more than 130,000 square meters, alongside four outdoor exhibition parks spanning 20.6 hectares.
The facilities will include conference spaces, a five-star hotel managed by Marriott, a class-A office tower, and more, enabling it to host major national and international events starting in mid-2025.
Prime Minister Chinh emphasized the importance of ensuring the project adheres to modern architectural standards and prioritizes the well-being of local communities.
He also advocated for policies that attract diverse social resources, with a model that balances state, public, and private sector interests.
His vision is for the center to function as a multi-purpose space that enhances Hanoi’s cultural, economic, and tourism offerings.
With the center targeted to be among the world’s top 10 largest exhibition complexes, the new site is poised to host milestone events, including the 14th National Party Congress and key national anniversaries.
The Prime Minister also inspected the Tu Lien Bridge project, which will connect Dong Anh and Tay Ho districts over the Red River.
He highlighted the need for transparency and legal compliance, aiming to create a bridge that reflects Hanoi’s historical character.
This, he emphasized, is more than an infrastructure upgrade; it’s part of a larger vision to enrich the city’s heritage.
