HANOI: The capital of Vietnam, recently ranked seventh among 121 global capitals surveyed for average annual PM2.5 concentrations in 2024, is urgently looking for solutions to address the increasingly severe air pollution plaguing the capital.
Tran Sy Thanh, Chairman of the capital People's Committee, said Hanoi is a special urban area, playing a central role in the nation’s economy, culture, science and national security.
