The 160 sq.m project to build the memorial house and add several facilities at the E2 Hill historical site was approved by the Dien Bien provincial People’s Committee in 2025 and broke ground in June that year. Total investment stands at 35 billion VND (1.35 million USD), poured by Ho Chi Minh City.

Inside the memorial house stands a seated bronze statue of President Ho Chi Minh, measuring 1.33 meters in height and weighing more than 500 kilograms.

The memorial house is expected to become an important cultural and spiritual space for Dien Bien province. With deep historical and cultural significance, it will serve as a “red address” for educating present and future generations on patriotism and revolutionary ideals.

Also on the morning of January 31, General Secretary To Lam and his entourage laid wreaths and offered incense at the Dien Bien Phu Battlefield Martyrs’ Temple and the A1 National War Cemetery.
