In his opening remarks, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Quang, Director of the Thang Long – Ha Noi Heritage Conservation Center, emphasized:

“We gather here today not only to witness the tangible and intangible values preserved within the D67 House and Bunker and the Cryptographic Bunker, but, more importantly, to rekindle national pride, strengthen our faith, and nurture a sense of responsibility among the present generation toward the cause of nation-building and defense.

Every artifact, every chamber, every document here bears the sweat, blood, and wisdom of our forefathers. It is our solemn duty to preserve and promote these legacies — and above all, to pass on the flame of patriotism to generations to come.”
