Mr. Nguyen Dai Hung Loc, Vice President of the Ho Chi Minh City Stamp Association and the owner of the stamp collection on President Ho Chi Minh, shared that many of the stamps displayed at the exhibition were acquired through global stamp auctions.
The exhibition aims to reflect on the historical milestones of President Ho Chi Minh’s life, closely tied to the revolutionary movement for national liberation, the fight for independence, and the defense of Vietnam’s sovereignty and unity. It also celebrates efforts to bring prosperity and happiness to the people, contributing to the development of a prosperous and beautiful country, and building the “Ho Chi Minh Cultural Space.”
