Museum accepts memorabilia relating to President HoVietNamNet Bridge – Dinh Ngoc Thi’s most prized souvenir is the red neckerchief President Ho Chi Minh gave him. Hearing the news, President Ho decided to honour the young pioneers, and Thi was summoned to represent the co-operative in Hanoi to meet President Ho in 1966. The objects also include a pistol President Ho granted to Minister of Health Hoang Tich Tri (1903 - 58), four letters President Ho sent to Minister Tri, and a painting of President Ho by Bulgarian painter Stefan Petrov in 1957. Last year, leaders of the Ho Chi Minh Museum attended an exhibition on the President in Bulgaria and met Petrov’s family. “We want to collect, preserve and promote the value of objects relating to President Ho at home and abroad.”Source: VNS
