Grant Description
On November 30, 2009, the Chinese Government and the Vietnam Ministry of Planning and Investment signed letters of exchange committing RMB 200 million of grant funding for the Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Palace Construction Project (see #64398).
Then, on June 27, 2016, the Chinese Government and the Government of Vietnam signed a supplementary exchange of letters providing another RMB 129.5 million of grant funding for this project. The purpose of the project was to construct a Sino-Vietnamese Friendship Palace in the capital city of Hanoi.
The building occupies an area of about 3.3 hectares and it has a total construction area of about 14,000 m2 with 2 floors above the ground and 1 underground floor, including a hall of 1,500 seats, conference rooms, offices, and space for Chinese traditional medicine clinics.

A formal foundation stone laying ceremony took place on October 9, 2004. Then, a formal groundbreaking ceremony took place on October 8, 2013.
However, construction did not begin until December 10, 2014.
On July 14, 2017, an unspecified supplemental agreement was signed by VUFO and Yunnan Construction Investment Holding Group Co., Ltd..
The project sponsor — China’s Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) — conducted a final project inspection on October 18, 2017.
The building was officially inaugurated on November 12, 2017 and a formal project handover ceremony took place on November 21, 2018. The originally scheduled project completion date was October 31, 2017.
