The program was held at the Hanoi Opera House on Wednesday evening by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Culture Newspaper and the Vietnam Music and Dance Theater.

“May Gift for President Ho Chi Minh”, a deeply meaningful political and cultural program, expressed the nation’s gratitude and affection for President Ho Chi Minh.

Professor Dr. Vu Duong Huan, former director of the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam, said: "Peace is the aspiration of all people. A culture of peace was a distinctive trait of President Ho Chi Minh. It was the core and consistent theme of his ideology.”
