Witnessing and experiencing a typical modern traffic project, marking the development and change of Ho Chi Minh City, the members of the delegation were very excited and moved.

Next, the delegation visited the weapons storage facility of the special forces that attacked the Independence Palace at 287/70 Nguyen Dinh Chieu, Ward 5, District 3. This was once the place where the Saigon Special Forces hid more than 2 tons of weapons to attack the Independence Palace during the Tet Offensive in 1968.

The house was bought by Mr. Tran Van Lai (alias Nam Lai, Hero of the People's Armed Forces) in 1966 and used as a place to hide weapons of the Saigon Special Forces. When entering the house, even officers and soldiers who had participated in the war were still surprised and admired.
