This is an occasion to deeply express gratitude for President Ho Chi Minh's great contributions to the Vietnamese revolution, especially in the last 15 years of his life at the Presidential Palace. Through this, it once again affirms the invaluable values that have been preserved and promoted at the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace over the past 55 years.

Speaking at the ceremony, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Dao Cuong emphasized: The Uncle Ho Relic Site at the Presidential Palace is one of the first 10 relics in the country to be recognized as a special national relic by the Prime Minister (phase 1, 2009). This is the only special national relic under the management of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the only original relic of Uncle Ho, one of the largest and most important relics among the historical and revolutionary relics of Vietnam in general and the first relic in the system of memorial relics of Uncle Ho in the whole country in particular.

Mr. Hoang Dao Cuong, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism spoke at the ceremony.

Over the past 55 years, with the attention of the leaders of the Party, the State, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and all classes of people, the correct leadership of generations of leaders and the unceasing efforts of the collective of civil servants and workers, the Relic Site has well performed the task of preserving and promoting the heritage value of President Ho Chi Minh at the Presidential Palace to the people at home, overseas Vietnamese visiting the Fatherland and international friends.

Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Dao Cuong affirmed: President Ho Chi Minh not only left our nation an unprecedented glorious revolutionary career in history, he also left our entire Party and people a noble legacy, which is a shining example of the moral qualities of a revolutionary, symbolizing the most beautiful things in the soul, will and personality of the nation and humanity. In that sense, the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace is the eternally precious "old Uncle Ho's realm", a place where the ideology, morality and style of Ho Chi Minh converge and spread deeply...

Ms. Le Thi Phuong, Director of the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace, delivered the opening speech at the ceremony.

Ms. Le Thi Phuong, Director of the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace, shared: During his revolutionary career, President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked in many places, but the Presidential Palace was honored to be the place where he was associated the longest - the last 15 years of his life (1954-1969). During the years he lived and worked here, President Ho Chi Minh left humanity not only a treasure trove of valuable theories but also legacies that truly and deeply reflect his life, career and noble personality.

This place permanently preserves the image and memory of the ideology, morality and style of the great leader Ho Chi Minh, the Hero of Vietnamese national liberation, an outstanding cultural figure, an international communist soldier, and a loyal friend of progressive and peace-loving humanity.

Deputy Minister Hoang Dao Cuong presented Certificates of Merit to outstanding collectives and individuals in the work of preserving and promoting the value of the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace.

As one of the first 10 relics in the country to be ranked as a special national relic, the first relic in the system of memorial relics of Uncle Ho, the Relic Site is currently effectively carrying out two political tasks in parallel: Preserving and maintaining the original state of his residence and workplace at the Presidential Palace as he lived and worked during his lifetime; effectively promoting the legacy of President Ho Chi Minh at the Presidential Palace. In which, preserving and maintaining the original state of the relic is the core political task; promoting the value of the relic is an important political task.

In this series of commemorative activities, the Relic Site organized the award ceremony of the Contest “Interpreter at the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace” and the Photography Contest “The Beauty of the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace”. These are meaningful activities, contributing to making the image, value and position of the Relic Site more vivid in the public’s mind.

The exhibition is not only an opportunity for us to show our gratitude, but also an opportunity to affirm our efforts and determination to continue to preserve and promote the precious heritage values of President Ho Chi Minh at the Presidential Palace, as the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong once said: “The President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace is a very sacred place. This is where all people in the country and international friends come to remember and understand the great contributions of Uncle Ho and especially the place to study and follow the great example of President Ho Chi Minh. Coming here, everyone should reflect on themselves to cultivate, practice and work worthy of Uncle Ho”.
