They give visitors an insight into a great man with a strong will, deep love for the nation, and a burning desire to find freedom for the people and independence for the Fatherland.
In his opening remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador to France Dinh Toan Thang said the exhibits, provided by the President Ho Chi Minh Historical Relic Site, highlighted the Vietnamese leader’s imprint on different places in France.
Addressing the opening, Le Thi Phuong, Director of the President Ho Chi Minh Historical Relic Site, said the exhibition recalls vivid memories of President Ho Chi Minh's years efforts for peace and progress in the world, and his endeavors to build and preserve friendly, cooperative relations between Vietnam and France.
Eric Lafon, Director of the Museum of Living History, said that the exhibition enriches the Ho Chi Minh space in the museum, which is expecting a large number of visitors during the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"What moves us when we remember President Ho Chi Minh is his compassion, patriotism, and determination to fight for national independence. President Ho Chi Minh and his comrades reminded French people of their own fight for national independence and territorial integrity against the German occupation," said Lafon.
