In order for the ambassadors to be able to go close to the General's grave to offer incense, the leaders of the Quang Binh Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism called to ask for permission from the General's family.

Mr. Tom Malinowski, US Assistant Secretary of State, shared: “I have known General Vo Nguyen Giap before and have great respect for him.

I am very honored to come here to visit the grave and also very surprised that a world-famous General chose for himself such a simple and close resting place to the people.
