Hanoi - Six streets in Hanoi’s Gia Lam District will be named after islands of the Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago in south-central Khanh Hoa Province.

This is part of the capital city’s plan to rename and adjust the length of several streets this year.

Fifty-eight streets in 15 urban and sub-urban districts will be given new names. Six of them will be named after six islands, namely An Bang (Amboyna Cay), Song Tu Tay (Southwest Cay), Nam Yet (Namyit), Son Ca (Sand Cay), Phan Vinh (Pearson Reef) and Tien Nu (Tennent Reef).

The six roads cover a length of about 1-2km each, stretching from Ly Thanh Tong Street to the Hanoi-Hai Phong Expressway Intersection, around the area of Da Ton and Kieu Ky communes.

Hanoi’s authorities also plan to extend the length of Ha Ke Tan Street in Hoang Mai District (by 470m) and Dương Duc Hien Road (by 2.2km) in Gia Lam District.

A 6.2km road, stretching from the crossroad of Giai Phong-Hoang Liet street to the intersection next to lane 95, Nam Dư Street and Thanh Tri Bridge, will be named after former Party General Secretary Do Muoi.

The street name proposal will be submitted to the general meeting of Hanoi People’s Council in early July.

Hanoi reserves resources for improving quality of people’s life

With a population of about 10 million people, Hanoi is one of the most populous cities in the country, therefore the capital always faces many social issues, including security and order, employment, and social evils, among others.
