According to Ms. Bach Lien Huong, in the early days of the August Revolution in 1945, the house at 48 Hang Ngang became the workplace of the Central Party Standing Committee and President Ho Chi Minh.

Here, many important decisions on domestic and foreign affairs, institutions and the composition of the provisional government were passed. Notably, in a small room on the second floor, President Ho Chi Minh wrote the Declaration of Independence, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

“With its stature and contemporary ideology, the Declaration of Independence is the crystallization of the Vietnamese people’s thousand-year-old traditional values of the aspiration for independence - freedom - happiness; at the same time, it contains universal values of humanity on human rights and the right to national self-determination,” Ms. Bach Lien Huong emphasized.
