The diplomats had just arrived in Quang Binh to join the Son Doong cave exploration trip. In order for the ambassadors to be able to go up 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 respect him very much.

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-to-the-people resting place."

Tomorrow morning, the group will officially set out to conquer Son Doong Cave, the largest natural cave in the world.
