Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi People’s Council convened its 15th session on July 16 before it joins the Ha Tay counterpart to discuss the personnel for expanded Hanoi . The participants adopted a resolution on the city’s 2007 budget balance with earnings reaching 47.98 trillion VND, exceeding the target by 4.99 percent and up 21.8 percent from 2006. People’s Council Chairwoman Ngo Thi Doan Thanh said relevant agencies of Hanoi and Ha Tay are urgently preparing contents for the joint meeting. On May 29, the National Assembly passed a resolution to adjust the administrative boundaries of Hanoi and Ha Tay, Hoa Binh and Vinh Phuc provinces with a vote majority of 92.9 percent.
