Addressing the event, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Hoang TrungHai highlighted achievements the capital city has recorded over the past ninemonths despite an array of difficulties like climate change, flooding anddrought.

Efforts by all-level Party committees, authorities, businesses and people ofHanoi have been mirrored through a decent growth rate, higher State budgetcollection and investment compared to the same period last year, pricestability and curbed inflation, he said.
