The leaders expressed their profound gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh, heroic martyrs, former Party leaders, and people who dedicated their lives to the struggle for national liberation.
Nga Ba Giong historical site covering an area of around 10 hectares in Xuan Thoi Thuong Commune in HCMC’s Hoc Mon District was recognized as a national historical relic site in 2002. It was a place where the French colonialists executed 903 Party members and patriots who joined the Nam Ky Uprising, such as Ha Huy Tap, Nguyen Van Cu, Vo Van Tan, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Phan Dang Luu, and others. The historic uprising broke out on November 23 running in the final weeks of 1940.
The delegation previously offered incense to commemorate fallen soldiers and residents at Gieng Nuoc Hospital Martyr's Memorial.
The historical site of Gieng Nuoc Hospital (now known as Hoc Mon Regional General Hospital) was a place where the French colonialists set up a shooting range to kill Party leaders, namely Party General Secretary Ha Huy Tap; Vo Van Tan, secretary of the Nam Ky regional Party Committee; Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, secretary of the Saigon – Cho Lon municipal Party Committee.
