Find Out The Best Things of Vietnam Through Hanoi Summit

A safe destination

Hanoi has been known as “The City for Peace” for decades and believe it or not, this is not only a nickname. The fact that two of the most famous powerful leaders President Donald Trump and President Kim Jong Un agreed to have their meetings here in Hanoi proved they totally believe in the city’s security. In fact, the summit came to an end safely on 28 Feb 2019 although the two leaders couldn’t come to any joint agreement they all sent their thanks to Vietnam for the warm welcome and a safety summit.
