At the event, General Secretary Lam, State President Luong Cuong, and other leaders officially cut a ribbon to inaugurate the work, which is not only a significant historical witness of Hanoi and the nation, but also the place where President Ho Chi Minh worked during the early days of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam.

Completed in seven months, the restoration and construction project aims to preserve and honor the nation’s historical values, while creating an architectural symbol befitting the stature of the capital and the nation.

General Secretary To Lam and President Luong Cuong visit the Presidential Office headquarters at No.2 Le Thach street, Hoan Kiem, Hanoi, on August 19, 2025.

With its renewed appearance, the building is expected to create green spaces, marking a fresh journey in delivering cultural and historical values to the Vietnamese people and the nation in the new era.

Bac Bo Phu (Tonkin Palace) was taken over by the Vietnamese force on October 9, 1954. It is currently the Government Guest House. It was formerly the Residential Palace of the Tonkin Governor, built between 1918 and 1919.
