Hanoi is preparing an arts programme and concert for Vietnam Culture Day on 24 November, with an expected audience of 60,000, VnExpress reports. At a 12 October meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà called for an engaging programme and safety arrangements. The culture ministry is coordinating plans with the city alongside a wider culture and national-unity week. The audience figure is a planned scale for the forthcoming event, rather than recorded attendance.
