The museum is envisioned not only as a repository preserving invaluable historical documents and artefacts of the Party, but also as a vivid and authentic reflection of the Party’s revolutionary journey. It will serve as a “red address” for revolutionary tradition education, helping to nurture faith and ideals among cadres, Party members and the public, especially the younger generation, while introducing international friends to the Party’s role and contributions to national liberation movements worldwide.
