On the occasion, he presented full State funding for the construction of the boarding school, which will serve primary and secondary education, in Thanh Thuy commune. He also planted a commemorative tree at the site of the newly unveiled “President Ho Chi Minh in Tan Trao” monument.
At the inauguration ceremony, Minister of Public Security Gen. Luong Tam Quang highlighted the significance of the monument's construction in Tuyen Quang where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked for nearly six years during the revolutionary period. Standing 7.9m tall and crafted from nearly seven tonnes of pure copper, the monument, set on a 3.6m pedestal, draws on archival images to capture his likeness.
