Vinh City directs flags to be flown at half-mast to mourn General Vo Nguyen Giap

(Baonghean.vn) -To express our condolences and gratitude to General Vo Nguyen Giap, our Party and State decided to hold the General's funeral with State funeral rites.

To ensure the implementation of the National Funeral ceremony, Vinh City People's Committee issued Official Dispatch No. 4595/UBND-VHTT dated October 7, 2013 requesting agencies, units, schools, and residential areas to remove banners, slogans, and flags and hang flags at half-mast with mourning bands at offices and public places.

The flag is 1/10 the size of the flag width, the length of the flag length and can only be hung up to 2/3 the height of the flagpole, using a black ribbon to tie the flag so it does not fly. At the same time, stop organizing public entertainment activities from 12:00 on October 11, 2013 to 12:00 on October 13, 2013./.
