Inauguration of the memorial stele of Uncle Ho with the Southern milk fruit tree

On November 12, the People's Committee of Ca Mau province held a ceremony to announce the decision to rank the provincial relic and inaugurate the memorial stele of Uncle Ho with the Southern star apple tree; launch the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses in Ca Mau province and launch activities to recreate the 200 days of regrouping to the North.

According to the People's Committee of Ca Mau province, 70 years ago, the Geneva Agreement on the cessation of hostilities in Vietnam was signed, opening a new page in the struggle for national liberation and national reunification. Implementing the agreement, the Vietnamese revolution entered a new phase, including the event of tens of thousands of cadres and soldiers (generally called cadres) in the Southern provinces gathering in Ca Mau and regrouping in the North (Tri Phai commune, Thoi Binh district was the largest concentration).

Implementing the Party's policy, the Southern Party Committee, cadres and local people built a new life together before regrouping to the North. The 200-day regrouping area of ​​the Southwestern resistance force in Tri Phai commune demonstrated the solidarity between our army and people during the days of preparation for regrouping to the North in 1954.
