The Party chief and his entourage paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh, a brilliant leader of the Party and people, a great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, a hero of national liberation, and a man of culture who devoted his life to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.
Following the ceremony, General Secretary Lam and the delegation toured the site, where President Ho Chi Minh drafted the Declaration of Independence that proclaimed the birth of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam) on September 2, 1945.
In the guestbook, the Party leader wrote that the entire Party, people, and army will continue to safeguard and build upon the achievements of the revolution, striving to make Vietnam more prosperous and stronger, standing shoulder to shoulder with friends around the world, as Uncle Ho always wished.

House No. 48 Hang Ngang, located in Hanoi’s Old Quarter, was chosen as President Ho Chi Minh’s residence and workplace when he returned from the Viet Bac resistance base in August 1945. He lived and worked there from August 25 until early September that year.
The site also witnessed three historic decisions by the Party Central Committee: the Declaration of Independence, the organization of the first National Day celebration, and the establishment of the provisional government, laying a firm foundation for the new Vietnamese state.
