The National Assembly (NA) Office held a ceremony to hand over a relic site of the NA Standing Board in the northern Tuyen Quang province to the local authorities for management on August 15.

The site was built in 2006 in Trung Yen commune, Son Duong district of the northern province of Tuyen Quang on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the first general election.
In 2010, a memorial complex inside the relic was built and inaugurated, covering more than 2,000 square metres and encompassing a memorial and a commemorative house. 
The house sprawls over 300 square metres and showcases 66 artefacts, 255 photos and materials depicting the history of the Vietnamese NA and its Standing Board in the Viet Bac military zone during the first days of the resistance war. 
In mid-1952, the NA’s Standing Board chose Dong Ma village, Trung Yen commune, Son Duong district as its headquarters during the anti-French resistance war, in which a number of key meetings were held and presided over by President Ton Duc Thang.
