According to Major General Pham Hai Trung, Head of the Mausoleum Management Board and Commander of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Protection Command, over the past 55 years, our Party and State have had many policies and guidelines to lead and direct the special political task of preserving the body of President Ho Chi Minh for a long time, protecting the absolute safety of the body of President Ho Chi Minh and managing and protecting the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum.

However, most of the current legal regulations only focus on the management and protection of works in the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Relic Site; many important issues have not yet been regulated.

In practice, there are still some difficulties and shortcomings in the management work because this is a special task, which must ensure the absolute safety of President Ho Chi Minh's body, protect the mausoleum, and welcome people and international visitors to visit Uncle Ho and visit the area, promote and promote the political, historical and cultural significance of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Relic Site.

The Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum is a special project, requiring special techniques, with many unique equipment, manufactured on order from abroad. In case of changes in the world situation, importing materials, equipment, and training human resources abroad will encounter many difficulties. Therefore, the development and promulgation of ordinances is extremely necessary.
