In Tan Trao commune, the State leader visited and presented gifts to some families of revolution contributors.

Tan Trao, known as Vietnam’s revolutionary cradle, was once the living and working place of President Ho Chi Minh from late May to August 22, 1945. It was the venue for many historic events leading to the August Revolution, including the Congress of People’s Representatives chaired by President Ho Chi Minh on August 16, 1945 to decide on the destiny of the nation.

Also on the morning of September 24, Thuong attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the new Tuyen Quang general hospital. The 15-ha provincial hospital worth nearly 1.8 trillion VND (73.8 million USD) is designed to accommodate 1,000 beds.
