Ireland’s localities, Ha Noi step up cooperation

Chairman of the Ha Noi municipal People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung (R) and newly-accredited Ambassador of Ireland to Viet Nam John McCullagh, Ha Noi, December 18, 2019

At the reception, the ambassador thanked local authorities for providing a lot of support for Ireland over the past time, especially in organizing the celebration of Ireland’s National Day and St. Patrick’s Day in Hanoi in March annually.

Global Green Initiatives have been carried out in multiple places in Ha Noi at these events, he said.

He hoped in 2020, the city will continue supporting the embassy to implement similar cultural events to strengthen relations between the two countries and between Ireland and Hanoi in particular.

In turn, Chung highly appreciated the embassy’s activities to help Hanoians understand more about Ireland’s culture.

He said Ha Noi will create the best conditions for the ambassador to continue implementing cultural events in the future.

He hoped the ambassador will serve as a bridge to promote cooperation between Ha Noi and Irish partners.
