Therefore, the city hopes that London, as one of the four leading financial centers in the world, will share experience, technology, and make recommendations on the legal framework with Hanoi.

Impressed by the development goals of Hanoi Capital, Mayor of the London Financial Center Michael Mainelli welcomed the fact that Hanoi is implementing many green urban development programs until 2027.

Accordingly, London is trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce temperatures by many measures such as insulating paint, planting cooling trees, etc. Digitizing data on ancient buildings is also very important for conservation and restoration work. In the process, London is very willing to share its experiences with Hanoi.

The Mayor of London also emphasized his desire for extensive cooperation, connection and exchange, and making appropriate recommendations in the fields of finance, urban railways, education, etc., contributing to strengthening the relationship between the two capitals as well as the two countries.
