PANO - The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee held a ceremony on December 27th to inaugurate the Sai Gon-Gia Dinh Revolutionary Traditions Relic Site and receive the title "Labour Hero" for its historical Cu Chi Tunnels site.

The event was attended by Former Prime Minister Phan Van Khai, Former Vice President Truong My Hoa, Deputy Defence Minister Sen. Lt. Gen. Nguyen Thanh Cung, and leaders from local authorities.

The revolutionary zone covering an area of 13.5 ha is located inside the historical Cu Chi tunnel system. It was built to pay tribute to late leaders of the Southern Vietnam Front and people who had laid down their lives during the national resistance war against American invaders.
