The project comprises five groups of statues symbolizing the solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and the Russian Federation, China, Cuba, Laos, and Cambodia – countries that have given Vietnam immense, selfless, and unwavering support and assistance during difficult and challenging periods in history, contributing to the victory of the Vietnamese people's national liberation wars.
The construction of the Monumental Area stems from the Vietnamese national principle of "Drinking water, remember the source," and "Eating fruit, remember the tree planter"; at the same time, it reflects Vietnam's consistent stance of always valuing, preserving, and promoting international solidarity and friendship among nations, for the peace , independence, and sustainable development of countries around the world.
The building constructed within the grounds of the Vietnam Military History Museum will be a significant "landmark" with special meaning in the dissemination and education of historical traditions, research, study, and meaningful community activities for all levels of the population and international friends; a cultural and historical space of lasting value, contributing to spreading the message of solidarity, friendship, peace, and cooperation between Vietnam and international friends.
