HA NOI (Biz Hub) — A centre for improved scientific research of the capital city of Ha Noi was launched at Ha Noi National University yesterday.

The Ha Noi Studying and Development Centre will be a place for leading scientists to research about the long history and traditions of the city that is more than 1000 years old.

The centre is expected to help the Ha Noi People's Committee to resolve urgent issues in the fields of economy, politics, society, culture, environment and international co-operation.

Professor Phan Huy Le presented a plan for the establishment of the Ha Noi Studying Centre to the Ha Noi People's Committee and got support for the plan.

The idea to establish the centre was formed in the year 2000 by two history professors, namely Phan Huy Le and the late Tran Quoc Vuong. Ten years later, professor Le presented a plan for the establishment of the Ha Noi Studying Centre to the Ha Noi People's Committee and got support for the plan.

"Ha Noi is among the 13 largest capitals in the world. With history and culture that are more than 1,000 years old, the study of the capital will be boundless. The scientists are required to do key, useful and systematic research," said professor Le. — VNS
