At the Additional Gallery of the Relic Site, the thematic exhibition “Journey for Peace” is taking place. This is the result of the coordination between the Presidential Palace Relic Site, the General Nguyen Chi Thanh Museum, and the support of the Vietnam Peacekeeping Department (Ministry of National Defense) and the Ministry of Public Security’s Permanent Office on United Nations Peacekeeping.
The exhibition aims to honor the great contributions of President Ho Chi Minh and General Nguyen Chi Thanh in the struggle for national independence and to protect true peace for the Vietnamese people, while also recognizing Vietnam's proactive and positive role in preserving world peace today.
The exhibition consists of two parts: President Ho Chi Minh and General Nguyen Chi Thanh with their journey to preserve peace for the Vietnamese people; Vietnam participates in preserving world peace.
With more than 80 documents, artifacts and relics, the exhibition vividly recreates the milestones in the journey of struggle for independence, freedom and true peace of the Vietnamese people, initiated and led by President Ho Chi Minh, and inherited by General Nguyen Chi Thanh. At the same time, the exhibition introduces Vietnam's outstanding achievements and marks on the path of international integration, especially emphasizing its increasingly proactive and positive role in the United Nations' peacekeeping activities.
At the exhibition “Continuing the story of peace”, through 80 panels of images and documents, the message of aspiration for peace, national independence and the continuation of noble humanistic values of peace and friendship that President Ho Chi Minh initiated and laid the foundation for was conveyed.
The exhibition consists of two parts: “Friendship and peace for people around the world!” and “Together we continue the story of peace!”, introducing President Ho Chi Minh’s messages for peace through letters, speeches, declarations, and telegrams sent to organizations, heads of state, and people around the world. The exhibition also displays authentic images of Vietnamese soldiers and police officers - the “blue beret soldiers” with the mission of keeping peace at United Nations missions, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of international friends about a Vietnam that actively contributes to building a world of peace, stability, and sustainable development.
On this occasion, the Organizing Committee launched two books: “President Ho Chi Minh with General Nguyen Chi Thanh” and “The Governor-General of Indochina in the past and the Presidential Palace today”, introducing the space, history, and architecture of the Governor-General’s Palace in the past, the transformation process, and the special value of the Presidential Palace – where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked in the last 15 years of his life (1954–1969).
The highlight of the series of activities is the launch of AR technology experiences associated with the real world - connecting history and modernity through spatial computing technology. The deployment of technology experiences at the Presidential Palace Relic Site not only honors the value of heritage but also affirms the innovative, creative thinking and sense of responsibility in implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation to improve the operational efficiency of the unit.
Speaking at the event, Director of the Presidential Palace Relic Site Le Thi Phuong said that the series of activities and events have contributed to spreading the invaluable heritage values at the Presidential Palace Relic Site - a special national relic. Through that, we understand more clearly why President Ho Chi Minh is not only the pride of the nation but also admired and respected by the whole world.
The strength of the Presidential Palace Relic Site lies in the thinking of connection and association, organizing events into a logical flow, creating unique and distinctive highlights. The work of preserving and promoting the value of Uncle Ho's heritage at the Presidential Palace, although quiet, has immense social value and humanistic significance, a source of respect and pride not only for the country but also spreading to many international friends.
