HANOI (Reuters) - The embalmed corpse of Vietnam's founding leader, Ho Chi Minh, is in great condition, state media said on Friday, a month after the government recruited a team of Russian experts to help preserve the former revolutionary's body.

In June, Vietnam formed a special council of Vietnamese and Russian scientists to assess the condition of Ho's ageing corpse, which was first embalmed nearly 50 years ago.
