Ho Chi Minh. However, the Republic of South Vietnam does not exist anymore. Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City in honor of Ho Chi Minh, who was considered hero to the communist government during Operation Ho Chi Minh, a successful attempt to capture Saigon and force the Republic of South Vietnam government to surrender. Referred as Saigon to foreigners but Ho Chi Minh to local people.
