On the afternoon of November 23, the Vietnamese Communist Party (VCP)'s Politburo member and State President of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Nguyen Xuan Phuc met with international delegates attending the 22nd Assembly of the World Peace Council in Hanoi, Vietnam.

In 1999, Hanoi was awarded the title of "City for Peace" by UNESCO for its contributions to peace, equality, environmental protection, culture, and education promotion. The title is better proven as many foreigners have decided to settle in Hanoi. For them, "peace" is not only a title but the atmosphere they feel in their daily life in the capital city.
