The same day, the Hoan Kiem district People’s Committee inaugurated a photo exhibition on the makeover of the villa which now also serves as the Hanoi old quarter culture exchange centre and a venue for cultural activities of the district.
The renovation formed part of a cooperation agreement between the Hanoi People’s Committee and the Ile-de-France region of France on urban planning and management.
