VTV.vn - On the same day, PM Nguyen Tan Dung attended the groundbreaking ceremony of a Hanoi flag post in Ca Mau Province.

The work is going to be built in the area of the national coordinate milestone GPS 001, which is located in Ca Mau Culture - Tourism Park in Dat Mui District. This is also the last point on the Ho Chi Minh trail, connecting the northern and southern part of Vietnam.

The work in Ca Mau province imitates the original design of the Flag Tower of Hanoi, which was built under the reign of King Gia Long in 1812 in the south of the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long. This is the symbol of the capital city and a witness to its history.

When completed, the Hanoi flag post will be a place for art performances and the showcasing of historic artifacts. The estimated cost for the construction of this work is about 6.2 million USD, coming from Hanoi's budget and other sources of mobilised capital.
