Hue and a delegation of members of the Party Central Committee prayed for peace between the nation and people, and pledged their determination to promote valuable traditions and heritage of the nation and strengthen the great national unity bloc to build a country of wealth, democracy, equality and civilization.

Talking with the staff of the relic site, the top legislator urged them to actively conduct communications activities and to conserve and promote the values of the citadel, a UNESCO-recognized relic site.

The Thang Long Imperial Citadel, which was placed on the UNESCO list in August 2010, was a power center for over a thousand years in Vietnamese history and unique evidence of Vietnamese civilization during the development of monarchies in Southeast Asia and East Asia.

Kinh Thien Palace is the main building in the central sector of the citadel, which is located in what is today downtown Ha Noi. It sits in the center of the complex, facing Doan Mon (south gate) and Flag Tower.
