HCM City is hosting an exhibition of commendation records and valuable historical documents of war veterans to express deep gratitude to the generations who sacrificed for national independence.

The commemoration is a major event of special significance, honouring the life, career and outstanding contributions of the luminary to the nation's culture, science and education.

Between January and July, Hà Nội welcomed approximately 5.31 million international visitors, an increase of 25 per cent compared to the same period in 2025, while the domestic tourist number reached 15.85 million, up 11.9 per cent.

Four months into the 500-day campaign, teams have already recovered nearly 1,400 sets of remains, and new DNA science is bringing more soldiers' names back every week.
