Both sites are located in the same district.
The Deputy PM ordered the ministry to assign the investor of the project, the Vietnam Exhibition Fair Centre One Member Company Limited, to expeditiously complete the centre’s 3D building design by October 2015.
The location of the centre is expected to meet the requirements of event organisation, traffic and transport of commodities since the Noi Bai International Airport and other key highways are nearby.-VNA
