A conference to honour nearly 400 outstanding individuals who have made contributions to the nation opened in the central city of Da Nang on July 7.
President Truong Tan Sang attended the event, which offered an opportunity for the Party, State and people to remember and show gratitude to heroes who laid down their lives for national liberation.
Persons who have made great achievements in all aspects during the current national renewal process were also honoured at the event.
