The state president highlighted that Bac Bo Phu and its surrounding complex of buildings represent a sacred historical space for the nation. This was where President Ho Chi Minh and the Provisional Government worked during the early days of the State of Democratic Republic of Vietnam. This site has become a symbol of revolutionary government, an independent, self-reliant, legitimate state, embodying the aspiration for freedom, peace, and the indomitable will of the Vietnamese people.

The state president expressed gratitude to Party and State leaders, led by General Secretary To Lam, and acknowledged the support from central ministries, sectors, and Hanoi. He commended the Central Party Office, the Office of the State President, and the contractors, staff, engineers, workers, and laborers for their dedication and commitment during the project's execution. The Office of the State President, as the recipient of the handover, is tasked with managing, operating, and utilizing the facility effectively.
