Entitled ‘President Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnam-France Friendship’, the exhibition is being held in collaboration with the Party Central Committee’s Archives Department to mark the 71st anniversary of the August Revolution.
In addition to objects featuring President Ho Chi Minh’s quest for an equal relationship between Vietnam and France, his visit to France in 1946 and his contributions to building the Vietnam-France friendship, the exhibition also has a section about the development of Vietnam-France ties in the spirit of the Ho Chi Minh Ideology.
Some notable artefacts on display include a camera used to take photos at President Ho Chi Minh’s funeral service and President Ho Chi Minh’s letter to a member of the French women’s union on September 22, 1946, asking France to recognise Vietnam’s independence.
The exhibition opened on August 18 and lasts until December.
