Dr. Vu Manh Ha said that after 55 years of construction and development, the Ho Chi Minh Museum has collected and received tens of thousands of documents and artifacts related to the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh at home and abroad.

The museum has truly become a center for preserving, storing and promoting the heritage value of President Ho Chi Minh, a place where organizations and individuals trust and donate documents and artifacts about Uncle Ho.

Today's reception is a meaningful milestone in the journey of preserving and spreading the value of Ho Chi Minh's heritage to millions of domestic visitors and international friends, and at the same time is a testament to the people's companionship, sharing and trust in the Museum, as well as the Vietnamese people's respect for beloved Uncle Ho.

At the ceremony, the Ho Chi Minh Museum received photos of President Ho Chi Minh and a number of delegates and children at the anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam Workers' Party, the Lien-Viet Front and the Vietnam-Cambodia-Laos Alliance, respectfully donated by Ms. Dang Minh Chau (daughter of former Deputy Prime Minister Dang Viet Chau) and Ms. Vu Thu Giang (daughter of Ms. Phan Thi An).

This is a valuable source of information, reflecting the strength of solidarity and unity of the entire nation under the leadership of the Party, headed by President Ho Chi Minh, the close friendship between Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos and Uncle Ho's boundless love for children - the future generation of the country.
