The delegation held an incense and flower offering ceremony at the Memorial Site of Female General Nguyen Thi Dinh (Luong Hoa Commune, Vinh Long Province). Female General Nguyen Thi Dinh was the first woman to hold the rank of general in the Vietnam People's Army, the founder of the "Long-haired Army", and one of the key leaders of the Dong Khoi Movement in 1960. Her image is a typical symbol of the intelligence, spirit and loyalty of Vietnamese women.
