Hanoi (VNA) – Party General Secretary To Lam on January 16 visited and offered incense in tribute to former Party General Secretaries Le Duan, Do Muoi, and Le Kha Phieu at their families' private residences on the occasion of the Lunar New Year of the Snake and the 95th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3, 1930 –2025).
General Secretary To Lam recalled great contributions of the late leaders to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation, and expressed his deep gratitude to the predecessors, who helped lay a solid foundation for the country.
Le Duan, real name Le Van Nhuan, was born on April 7, 1907 in Bich La village in Trieu Dong commune in the central province of Quang Tri’s Trieu Phong district. He served as the Party’s First Secretary, and then the Party General Secretary from 1960 to 1986.
His leadership helped the Party successfully guide the people to carry out revolutionary missions in both the North and South of the country, contributing to the victory in the resistance war against the US in 1975, as well as national construction and defence after that.
Do Muoi was born on February 2, 1917, in Dong My commune, Thanh Tri district, Hanoi. He devoted his entire life to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the people. As a revolutionary, honed through wars, imprisonment, and the process of building and defending the nation, he consistently upheld the qualities of a communist soldier. He wholeheartedly served the nation and the people, constantly striving to learn, improve his revolutionary ethics, and develop his knowledge. He was known for his bold political mettle, decisiveness, and resolute actions in all matters.
Le Kha Phieu was born on December 27, 1931, in Dong Son district, central Thanh Hoa province. He held various positions in the military, including Chairman of the General Political Department of the Vietnam People's Army. He was elected General Secretary of the Party Central Committee at the 4th Plenum of the 8th Party Central Committee. During his tenure as General Secretary (December 1997 – April 2001), he, along with the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and the Secretariat, led the Party, the people, and the military to achieve significant accomplishments in the process of renewal, industrialisation, modernisation, and national defence. Throughout his revolutionary career, in every position, he always excelled in his responsibilities, maintained the integrity and character of a communist, and dedicated himself fully to the country and the people.
Amid the warm atmosphere leading up to the traditional Lunar New Year, Lam wished relatives of the late General Secretaries a new year of good health, happiness and success, and encouraged them to carry forward their family traditions to contribute more to the nation./.
