It aims to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first national General Election to elect deputies to the National Assembly (NA) of Viet Nam (January 6, 1946 – January 6, 2016).

The exhibition is expected to help the public understand better the activities of National Assembly, the highest representative organ of the people, which represents the aspirations of the people, and makes key decisions for the country on behalf of the people.

“As the highest organ of state power, the NA has played an important role in national liberation,” said Huynh Vinh Ai, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport.

“I hope that the exhibition will help young generations look back on the patriotism of Vietnamese people, to be proud of the country’s glorious revolutionary traditions and to be grateful for the generations who sacrificed their life for the country’s freedom,” he adds.

The book and documents on display at the exhibition are divided into different themes.

They feature landmarks related to the establishment of the National Assembly of Viet Nam including the first elections of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam which has now become the Socialist republic of Viet Nam.

The public can also learn about the role of the NA in the country’s liberation and reunification, as well as during the renewal period.

NA resolutions through thirteen elections are also featured, including key events for the country: revolution, construction of socialism, renewal and protection of sovereignty over archipelagos.

The show runs until next Tuesday (January 12) at the National Library of Viet Nam, located at 31 Trang Thi street, Ha Noi.

Organised by the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Sport, will last until January 12 at the National Library of Vietnam, 31 Trang Thi, Hanoi.
