Hanoi to build flower-tree welcome gates

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Sinh Hung has agreed with Hanoi’s proposal to build welcome gates with flowers and trees to celebrate the city’s 1000th anniversary.

Hanoi recently asked the government to cancel the five welcome gates worth 50 billion dong, using the capital from businesses to build temporary gates instead. The gates made of flowers and trees cost little to construct.

The city’s idea to build five welcome gates of 50 billion dong was protested by both experts and the public, who said that the city should build simple and cheap gates. Architects also didn’t agree with the city’s gate designs.

Huyen studied at Essex University in the UK several years ago. “The UK has contributed to my happiness today,” Huyen remarked.

Graduating from Essex, Huyen studied television media in Middlesex. She was “impressed by lecturers at Middlesex” and the warm sentiment of lecturers contributed to her close attachment to the UK.

According to Ambassador Mark Kent, Miss Vietnam Nguyen Thi Huyen, supermodel Nguyen Vu Ha Anh, writer-composer Tran Le Quynh and Chairman of the Vietnamese Students’ Association in the UK Nguyen Minh Triet are enthusiastic, eager for learning and have broad visions.
