Items on display highlight the support of 50 countries from 5 continents, international organizations, and conferences for Vietnam’s resistance war of national independence and reunification. Tran Thi Thuy is deputy head of Display Section of Hanoi’s Vietnam National Museum of History: "This collection is of great historical, cultural and human significance as it introduces visitors to global peace lovers’ support for Vietnam’s struggle for independence and reunification both physically and spiritually. Means of support varied from peaceful rallies and financial contributions, to blood donations for the Vietnamese people."
