via Vietnam Plus 20 February 2024: State President Vo Van Thuong commemorated King An Duong Vuong at the Co Loa special national relic in Hanoi, emphasizing Vietnam’s dedication to its cultural heritage. The visit, blending traditional ceremonies with modern initiatives like tree planting and community engagement, underscores the importance of connecting past achievements with contemporary aspirations.
State President Vo Van Thuong offered incense to King An Duong Vuong at the Co Loa special national relic in Hanoi’s outlying district of Dong Anh on February 20.
An Duong Vuong, succeeding the era of the nation founders Hung Kings, is credited with establishing Au Lac, an ancient state in Vietnam. His strategic vision and unwavering determination in national construction and defence led him to relocate the nation’s centre from the northern mountainous region to the vast and fertile plains where he established the ancient capital, known today as Co Loa.
Through extraordinary efforts, An Duong Vuong and the people of Au Lac completed the construction of the Co Loa Citadel, featuring a unique spiral three-tiered architectural design, within a remarkably short period.
