The inauguration, which marked the 96th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 - 2026) and the success of the 14th National Party Congress, also drew incumbent and former leaders of the Party and State, representatives of ministries and central agencies, and leaders of Hanoi.

At the ceremony, General Secretary Lam, President Luong Cuong and other leaders performed the ribbon-cutting ritual to officially inaugurate the project.
Addressing the event, President Luong Cuong stressed that the inauguration holds special significance, not only marking the completion and commissioning of a key national facility, but also reflecting the close linkage between Vietnam’s revolutionary historical legacy and the requirements of building a modern, strong socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people and for the people in the country’s new development era.
He noted that Bac Bo Phu (Tonkin Palace), formerly the Residential Palace of the Tonkin Governor, built between 1918 and 1919, which was taken over by the Vietnamese force on October 9, 1954 to use as the Government Guest House, and the surrounding complex constitute a sacred historical space of the nation, closely associated with President Ho Chi Minh and the Provisional Government during the early days of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The site has become a profound symbol of the revolutionary administration, of an independent, self-reliant and legitimate state, embodying the Vietnamese people’s aspiration for peace, freedom and national resilience.
