During 14 years, as many as 1,789 vessels transported more than 150,000 tonnes of goods and 80,000 officers and soldiers on this route.
The programme also spotlighted Vietnam’s efforts to promote sea-based economic development in recent times towards becoming a strong, sustainable, and prosperous marine nation.
The Ho Chi Minh Trail at Sea was set up on October 23, 1961 to help with the transportation of weapons from the North to aid the southern liberation army.
During the resistance war against the US imperialists, the route was considered a “true legend” and a miracle of the Vietnamese nation, contributing to the 1975 spring victory./.
