AN GIANG — The An Giang Federation of Labour on August 20 inaugurated the cultural space dedicated to President Hồ Chí Minh and President Tôn Đức Thắng – the great leaders of the nation.

The space, the first built by a trade union in Việt Nam, shows sentiments of An Giang Province – the hometown of President Tôn Đức Thắng – towards the two late leaders, aiming to provide a venue for local officials, trade union members and workers to get a deeper insight into their life and revolutionary career.

It is expected to spread positive values of learning and following the ideology, morality and lifestyle of the Presidents among local officials, trade union members and workers.

The work, built at a cost of more than VNĐ120 million (US$4,813), include billboards and photos spotlighting the life and career of the late leaders, a corner introducing the provincial trade unions’ efforts in studying and following their examples in caring for the lives of union members and workers, and an outdoor sports space.
