Establish the Hanoi Museum

VHO - June 29th marks many noteworthy events in the fields of culture, history, and science and technology. From the establishment of the Hanoi Museum, efforts to research and preserve heritage, to the naming of a square after a Vietnamese person in Paris, and the milestone of ushering in the modern smartphone era.

President Ho Chi Minh attended a meeting to discuss the planning for the renovation and expansion of Hanoi.

On June 29, 1960, President Ho Chi Minh attended a meeting of the Politburo to discuss the planning for the renovation and expansion of Hanoi.

Here, he emphasized that urban planning must have a long-term vision, be implemented according to a scientific plan, and pay special attention to the lives and transportation conditions of the people.

Uncle Ho's guidance not only laid the foundation for modern urban planning thinking but also reflected a consistent viewpoint: the development of the capital city must be people-centered.

After more than six decades, that advice remains just as valuable as Hanoi expands its urban space, develops its transportation infrastructure, and builds a civilized, modern city with a rich identity.
