Construction of world-class exhibition center kicks off in Hanoi
The 90-ha facility will be among the top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world.
Conglomerate Vingroup kicked off construction of the National Exhibition Center in Hanoi’s Dong Anh outlying district on August 30.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh attended the ground-breaking ceremony.
The 90-ha facility will be among the top 10 largest exhibition centers in the world, according to Mr. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Vingroup.
It will feature a wide range of supporting works such as commercial and service areas, high-rise office buildings, and a five-star hotel.
It is located close to Noi Bai International Airport and about half hour of drive from the inner city.
The center, similar to the Dubai Expo of the United Arab Emirates, Frankfurt of Germany, and Fiera Milano of Italy, will be a destination for global trade events and exhibitions, helping domestic and foreign enterprises to connect, and promote trade, while contributing to the capital city’s economic growth.
The project is developed as a replacement for the exhibition center in the city’s downtown Giang Vo district.
