The Hanoi People's Committee has organised a dialogue to address difficulties and promote the operation of enterprises, cooperatives, and household businesses in the capital city's craft villages.

With 1,350 craft villages, including 308 traditional ones, Hanoi has seen a need to balance maintaining production and preservation of traditional values, especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Craft villages in the capital city of Hanoi are sharing a concern over the shortage of highly-skilled craftsmen, which is hindering them from improving the designs and competitiveness of products.
