Later 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.

The handover ceremony was to celebrate the 70 th anniversary of National People’s Congress and the 70 th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2).-VNA
