State President Nguyen Minh Triet delivered this remark at a get-together of almost 200 delegates who are former members of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam (NFLSV) and agencies of the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Republic of South Vietnam (PRGRSV), which was held in Ho Chi Minh City on Dec. 19.

The president also expressed gratitude to fallen combatants, war invalids and people from all walks of life, who had sacrificed for the Fatherland’s independence and freedom.

President Triet stressed that the NFLSV, PRGRSV and the alliance of pro-nation, democracy and peace forces played an extremely important role and contributed greatly to the struggle for the liberation of the South.

NFLSV was the voice and the flag appealing people from all walks of life, all social classes and the southerners’ strength to join in the resistance war against the US aggressors to regain national independence, he said.

In the familiar atmosphere, participants were deeply moved with memories and stories of historical witnesses, including Nguyen Thi Binh, who once held the positions of Vice State President, member of the NFLSV Central Committee and Foreign Minister of the PRGRSV; Lieut. Gen. Nguyen Thoi Bung, former Deputy of National Defence; Le Hieu Dang, former Deputy Secretary General of the alliance of pro-nation, democracy and peace forces; and Buddhist nun Thich Nu Ngoat Lien.

The function was co-hosted by the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee and the VFF HCM City Chapter and aimed to celebrate the 50 th founding anniversary of NFLSV, which falls on Dec. 20./.
