In the first six months of 2024, the Management Board also welcomed more than 1.6 million visitors to the Ho Chi Minh Presidential Palace Historical Site; and more than 430,000 visitors to the Ho Chi Minh Museum.

In particular, the Mausoleum Management Board proactively developed plans, made thorough preparations in terms of human resources, materials, and methods; coordinated and implemented the periodic renovation of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum in 2024, ensuring absolute quality, safety, and adherence to the set schedule.

This included completing the major embalming task for President Ho Chi Minh's remains according to proper procedures and with absolute safety; and carrying out maintenance and repair of the technical equipment and architectural systems of the Mausoleum.

After the restoration, President Ho Chi Minh's remains continue to be preserved in the best possible condition; the technical equipment system operates stably, accurately, and reliably, ensuring a sufficient redundancy; and the landscape and architecture of the Mausoleum and its surrounding structures are more spacious, clean, and beautiful.

After inspecting the results of the 2024 periodic renovation work on the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, and working with the Management Board of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, relevant ministries and agencies, and the city of Hanoi, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the beloved President Ho Chi Minh was a national liberation hero, a world cultural figure, a brilliant leader, and a great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, who dedicated his entire life to serving the country and the people.
