The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex will be inaugurated on Truong Sa Lon (Big Spratly) Island on May 19, 2010 or the 120th birthday of President Ho Chi Minh.

The ground-breaking ceremony of the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Complex.

The Memorable Complex will have a total area of over 700sq.m, at a cost of VND4 billion ($235,000), raised from the budget and people’s contributions.

The ground-breaking ceremony of this work took place on Truong Sa Lon Island last week.

“I hope people from all over the country will contribute objects and documents about President Ho Chi Minh to the memorial complex,” said Vice Party Chief of the central province of Nghe An, Tran Binh Minh, at the ceremony.

On this occasion, the construction of Hanoi’s guest house on Truong Sa Lon Island began. This is the first guest house on the island to serve vistors coming to the Truong Sa Islands. This work is scheduled for completion next year.
