Since then, despite many difficulties, the capital has taken on a new look in all areas. Hanoi has become a place connecting the historical sources and quintessence of the nation, a place where the patriotism, love of peace, solidarity and aspiration of the whole nation converge, crystallize and shine.
Every great achievement that the Party Committee, government and people of Hanoi have achieved over the years is a vivid image of "unanimity", promoting the heroic tradition, building the capital to be increasingly rich, beautiful, civilized, modern and strongly integrated.
Affirming the role, central position, heart of the whole country
October 10, 1954 went down in history as a milestone marking a turning point of great significance, opening a period of development for the Capital and the country, marking the Ho Chi Minh era in the development process of Thang Long - Hanoi.
Right in the first days of returning to the Capital, President Ho Chi Minh reminded the Party Committee and the People of the Capital: “The whole country looks to our Capital. The world looks to our Capital. We must all strive to maintain order and security, making our Capital peaceful, beautiful, and healthy both physically and mentally”. He also affirmed: “If the Government is determined and all the people of Hanoi are united in contributing to the Government, we will definitely overcome all difficulties and achieve the common goal of making Hanoi a peaceful, joyful, and prosperous Capital”.
Over the past 70 years, the Party Committee, government, army and people of the Capital have strived to implement Uncle Ho's teachings, increasingly affirming the role, central position and heart of the whole country. During the years of resistance against the US, hundreds of thousands of children of the Capital joined the army to fight on all battlefields. In the rear, Hanoi became a major economic center of the socialist North, supporting the front line with the motto "not a pound of rice is missing, not a soldier is missing". Not only that, Hanoi, together with the military, branches and localities, especially under the wise and talented leadership of the Party Central Committee, created a "Dien Bien Phu in the air" in the winter of 1972. "The capital of conscience and human dignity" forced the US Government at that time to return to the negotiating table and sign the Paris Agreement, ending the war and restoring peace in Vietnam. This was an important premise for the whole country to achieve the Great Victory in Spring 1975, bringing the country together.
According to historical documents, since 1954, Hanoi has had four major administrative boundary adjustments, in 1961, 1978, 1991 and 2008; including three administrative boundary expansions in 1961, 1978 and 2008; and one narrowing in 1991. From a capital with a small area and population (152.2 km² with 437,000 people), Hanoi today has the stature of a large urban area with a total area of nearly 3,400 km², 30 administrative units of districts, towns and cities; ranking second in the country in terms of population size. Hanoi Party Committee is currently the largest Party Committee in the country, with 50 subordinate grassroots Party Committees, more than 480,000 Party members, accounting for more than 9% of the total number of Party members nationwide.
With the spirit of constantly innovating thinking and action, throughout the process of construction and development, Hanoi City has closely followed the guiding viewpoint, taken the lead and creatively applied the Party's guidelines and policies, and the Central Resolutions into practice, including resolutions of particular importance to Hanoi such as Resolution No. 11-NQ/TW dated January 6, 2012 of the Politburo "on the direction and tasks of developing the capital Hanoi in the period of 2011 - 2020", Resolution No. 15-NQ/TW dated May 5, 2022 of the Politburo "on the direction and tasks of developing the capital Hanoi to 2030, with a vision to 2045", together with the whole country, creating achievements of historical significance, especially in the 40 years of implementing the renovation process.
As many opinions have commented, the foundation for Hanoi to develop as it is today is the spirit of solidarity, indomitable will, creativity and never backing down in the face of difficulties. In each period, Hanoi has made breakthrough decisions, with steady steps and appropriate action programs to exude the image of a Capital City.
In particular, one of the innovations maintained by the Hanoi Party Committee through many terms is that, along with identifying key solutions and breakthroughs, it has built work programs to concretize the resolutions of the City Party Congress and the Party's Resolutions, helping all levels and sectors, especially the leaders assigned to be in charge, and advisory agencies in each field, to base on that to direct and concretize implementation.
In the current 2020 - 2025 term, with the implementation of 10 work programs, 5 main tasks and 3 breakthroughs identified in the Resolution of the 17th City Party Congress, Hanoi has been synchronously deploying many solutions on innovation of growth model and economic structure, in which the requirements of sustainable development are respected; especially the innovation and improvement of the quality of planning and planning management; socio-economic development goes hand in hand with good implementation of ensuring social security and environmental protection; creating a new step in the work of building an elegant and civilized Hanoi culture and people; ensuring political security, social order and safety in all situations.
Along with that, in each year, the Hanoi Party Committee has chosen a key and focused theme to focus on leadership and direction to create a breakthrough in implementing key tasks. For the past 4 years, Hanoi has effectively implemented and promoted the theme "Discipline, responsibility, action, creativity, development", promoting the spirit of innovation, daring to think, daring to do, daring to take responsibility of cadres and party members; the leadership method of the City Party Committee and Party Committees at all levels has been strongly and resolutely spread to the grassroots, creating an important driving force for the capital to achieve important results in socio-economic development.
Accordingly, the capital's economy has grown continuously, labor productivity has increased, reaching an average of over 7%/year; GRDP scale ranked 2nd; GRDP per capita ranked 8th nationwide. Hanoi is also the leading locality in the country in new rural construction when 18/18 districts and towns have completed the task of building new rural areas. These results also contribute to promoting social security, by the beginning of 2024, Hanoi's poverty rate was only 0.03%, the near-poor household rate was 0.7%; 18/30 districts had no poor households, 5 districts had no near-poor households. On the basis of effectively exploiting resources, as well as orienting sustainable development, the birth of large and important traffic works such as elevated railways, modern bridges, the formation of urban areas, model streets... has raised the stature and urban appearance of the capital Hanoi to become more and more beautiful and modern.
In such strong development, Hanoi still retains the eternal cultural and historical values of the thousand-year-old Thang Long land, while promoting the value of the "Creative City" in positioning the brand and promoting the image of the Capital to the world. Hanoi today not only plays the role of the Capital of the country but also an important bridge for the country to integrate internationally. Hanoi has signed cooperation agreements with 61 capitals and cities of other countries; has economic and trade relations with nearly 200 countries and territories, is a member of many prestigious international organizations in the world... Many major international political and cultural events taking place in the Capital have contributed to making Hanoi one of the centers connecting global values. The image of "Hanoi - City for Peace" honored by UNESCO is increasingly beautiful in the hearts of friends from all over the world.
New vision, new thinking, aiming for higher goals in the future
The 70th anniversary of liberation has also posed new challenges on the development path of the Capital, with higher goals. Following the spirit of exemplary leadership and determination to rise up, Hanoi City is continuing to realize the goals in Resolution No. 15-NQ/TW of the Politburo "on the direction and tasks of developing Hanoi Capital to 2030, with a vision to 2045", so that by 2030, Hanoi will become the center and driving force for the development of the Red River Delta, the key economic region of the North and the whole country; deeply integrating internationally, having high competitiveness with the region and the world, striving to develop on par with the capitals of developed countries in the region...; and the vision for the development of the Capital by 2045, Hanoi will have a high quality of life, comprehensive and sustainable economic, cultural and social development; be a globally connected city, with international competitiveness.
The whole country's aspirations and beliefs are placed in Hanoi.
At the meeting with the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee on the implementation of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and the Resolution of the 17th Congress of the Hanoi Party Committee (August 9, 2024), General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that Hanoi must fully, correctly and more deeply perceive the potential, outstanding advantages, position and especially important role of the Capital in the cause of innovation; promote the cultural and heroic tradition, enhance the spirit of dynamism, creativity, daring to think, daring to do, continue to innovate thinking, thinking and working methods to make Hanoi develop more strongly and comprehensively, becoming a typical city of the whole country in all aspects.

These very important major orientations are the basis for Hanoi City to continue to apply and concretize into programs and work plans, to organize and implement synchronously and uniformly throughout the entire political system in the coming time, to best achieve strategic goals in rapid and sustainable development.
Speaking at the meeting, General Secretary and President To Lam with the Standing Committee of the Hanoi Party Committee, Politburo member and Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai said that the city will focus on leading and directing socio-economic development, determined to complete and exceed the targets set by the Resolution of the 17th Congress of the City Party Committee; ensure social security, social progress, improve the material and spiritual life of the people; promote the people's mastery; develop culture and people so that culture and people can be developed.
