Ha Tinh (VNA) – Party General Secretary To Lam and a working delegation of the Party Central Committee on January 29 offered flowers and incense in tribute to former Party General Secretaries Tran Phu and Ha Huy Tap, and visited the special national historical site of Dong Loc T-junction in the central province of Ha Tinh.
The activities were held to commemorate the 96th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 –2026), celebrate the success of the 14th National Party Congress, and mark the upcoming Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival.
At the gravesite of Party General Secretary Tran Phu in Duc Tho commune, the Party chief and the delegation expressed deep respect and profound gratitude for the late leader’s great contributions to the glorious revolutionary cause of the Party and the Vietnamese nation.
Comrade Tran Phu was the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, a steadfast and indomitable communist, an outstanding son of the Vietnamese people, and an excellent disciple of President Ho Chi Minh. He devoted his entire life to the struggle for national liberation.
His heroic sacrifice and major contributions to the Party and Vietnam’s revolution have continued to inspire communists and future generations to study, strive, and work for the cause of building and defending the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
The Party chief and the delegation also offered flowers and incense in tribute to late Party General Secretary Ha Huy Tap, expressing deep appreciation for his great merits and lifelong dedication to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.
Comrade Ha Hu Tap was a talented leader of the Party and Vietnam’s revolution, a resilient revolutionary fighter, and an exemplary communist who devoted his life to the independence and freedom of the Fatherland and the happiness of the people.
During years when the revolution faced countless hardships, he, together with the Party Central Committee, steered the revolutionary movement through storms and challenges, helping advance the Party’s cause. He was also one of the Party’s outstanding political theorists, drafting many important Party documents and writing books and articles to disseminate revolutionary ideals and raise awareness among the people.
Earlier, at the Dong Loc T-junction in Dong Loc commune, the Party chief and the delegation laid a wreath and offered incense at the memorial stele dedicated to fallen youth volunteers nationwide, as well as at the graves of 10 heroic female youth volunteers who bravely sacrificed their lives there.
The site is the place where 10 young women of a youth volunteer unit heroically gave their lives on July 24, 1968, while carrying out their mission at a very young age.
Their courageous sacrifice has become a powerful symbol of the immense contributions of millions of Vietnamese young people who devoted their youth to the cause of national liberation and national reunification. The Dong Loc T-junction has entered history as a sacred revolutionary landmark, a vivid symbol of revolutionary heroism, and an important site for educating today’s and future generations about patriotism and national pride./.
