Deputy Minister Vu extended warm congratulations to the family of the late musician, and emphasised that the recognition of "Musician Hoang Van’s Collection" by UNESCO is not only a tribute to the musician and his family but also an affirmation of the enduring stature and value of Vietnam’s revolutionary music.

A collection belonging to composer Hoang Van (1930–2018) has recently been inscribed on UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register. The collection meets several of UNESCO’s key criteria, especially in terms of historical significance and global value. This marks Vietnam’s 11th documentary heritage to be recognised by UNESCO.
