On behalf of municipal leaders, he sent his best wishes to the Church and the Protestants in the city.
He recognised the contributions of Catholic followers and the Church to local social, economic, and cultural development over recent years.
The Hanoi Evangelical Church is expected to work with local agencies and departments to build a civilised and modern capital, he said.
