Despite a surge in the number of visitors, the President Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Management Board proactively worked with forces in the Ba Dinh historical & cultural relic complex and Hanoi’s functional agencies to carefully receive and serve every compatriot and international visitor.
The people and tourists who came to pay respect to Uncle Ho on September 2 were treated to free-of-charge water and bread by the management board.
2019 marks the 74th anniversary of Vietnam’s National Day (September 2) and 50 years of the implementation of President Ho Chi Minh’s Testament (1969-2019).
