Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to formally request a change in the naming of the time
zone for Viet Nam in your database. Currently, the time zone is listed
as "Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh." However, I would like to propose that this be
updated to "Asia/Ha_Noi" to reflect the official and more widely
recognized name of the time zone.

Hà Nội, as the capital city of Viet Nam, is the administrative and
political center of the country. It holds significant historical,
cultural, and socio-economic importance. Consequently, using Hà Nội as
the reference point for the country's time zone would be more
appropriate and align with international standards and practices.

The change from "Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh" to "Asia/Ha_Noi" would not only
reflect the official naming conventions but also aid in reducing
confusion among users and developers who rely on accurate and
standardized time zone data. This adjustment would bring consistency
and clarity to the representation of Viet Nam's time zone in global
systems.

I kindly ask that IANA consider this request and take the necessary
steps to implement the change. Your attention to this matter and
efforts to ensure accurate representation in the time zone database
are greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your
favorable response.

Sincerely,
Viet Le
