* **Hanoi:** Sister cities include Fukuoka (Japan), Manila (Philippines), Ankara (Turkey), and Île-de-France (France). * **Ho Chi Minh City:** Maintains sister-city ties with San Francisco (USA), Shanghai (China), Busan (South Korea), and Lyon (France). * **Da Nang:** Partnered with Kawasaki (Japan), Oakland (USA), and Daegu (South Korea).
