The Vietnamese Ambassador, Pham Van Que, burnt incense to the Hung Kings to express his gratitude to the nation’s ancestors.

The death anniversary of the Hung Kings, which falls on the 10^th day of the third lunar month, was officially recognised as a national celebration in 2000 and the National Assembly approved a proposal to make it a national holiday in 2007.

On this occasion, the embassy held a talk on the late President Ho Chi Minh to mark his 120^th birth anniversary.
