It is a three-piece project comprising a stone stele commemorating the miracle, a virtual reality room, and a collection recreating the interior of late President Ho Chi Minh’s workspace.

The commemorative work aims to honor an accord between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Government of France signed by late President Ho Chi Minh and representatives of the Government of France on March 6, 1946 at No.38 Ly Thai To (located on the campus of the Hanoi’s Children Palace). It’s the first bilateral agreement signed between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam) and another country, laying the foundation for Vietnam’s foreign policy.

The work helps promote national pride and pay tribute to the country’s leaders who made merits to the national defense and building, said Vo Thi Thanh Diep, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Children’s Palace.

Tran Quang Hung, Vice Secretary of the Hanoi Youth’s Union, said the work has added to facilities that help children better understand the country’s history and tradition.

On March 6, 1946, an accord was signed between the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and France, under which, the French Government recognized the Democratic Republic of Vietnam as an independent State.  

Part of the project commemorates Vietnam's diplomacy in the Ho Chi Minh era.
