The same day, local officials and residents paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh and President Ton Duc Thang at the museums dedicated to the two late leaders.  

On this occasion, Nhan and other city leaders visited the High Command of Military Zone 7 and people who made outstanding contributions during the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign.
