Hanoi (VNA) – Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s great contributions to the Party and the nation have left deep impressions on Party members and people nationwide, who have special sentiments for the late leader.
Pham Dai Duong, Secretary of the Party Committee and head of the delegation of National Assembly deputies of the central province of Phu Yen, said upon hearing the news of the Party chief’s passing, officials, Party members and residents in the province have expressed their boundless grief.
The Party leader set a bright example of simplicity, approachability, and modesty, Duong said, calling him a great personality of the nation, who has been loved and respected by not only people at home but also international friends.
His instructions on Party and political system building, socio-economic development, national defence and security, and new-style rural area building during a visit to Phu Yen have been materialised over the past years, with significant achievements reaped, Duong said.
The leader’s guiding principles, and theoretical and practical lessons will continue to be widely spread among local officials, Party members and people, he pledged, emphasising their absolute confidence in the Party leadership and the State governance, as well as their solidarity, unity and consensus in realising targets set at the 13th National Party Congress and the 17th provincial Party Congress.
Nguyen Thi Dieu, a kindergarten teacher in the mountainous district of Song Hinh, Phu Yen province, who had a chance to meet the Party chief in Hanoi last year as a role model in studying and following President Ho Chi Minh’s example, expressed her deep respect for General Secretary Trong, saying he is a very approachable leader.
For Trieu Duc Thanh, former Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and former Chairman of the People’s Committee of northern Ha Giang province, the General Secretary is a staunch, capable, knowledgeable and respectable communist.
“I myself and officials and people in Ha Giang always have absolute trust in the Party leadership, and stay united to successfully complete the targets set at the 13th National Party Congress,” he said, highlighting the Party chief’s anti-graft crackdown, with zero tolerance on corruption.
Hạng Mi De, former head of the provincial Party Committee’s Information and Education Board, said in any circumstances, the General Secretary always skillfully handled domestic and foreign affairs, contributing to the Party's strength, the country's development, and a prosperous and happy life for all people.
Duong Thi Phuong, a resident in residential area No. 5, Tran Phu ward, Ha Giang city, showed her grief at the Party leader’s death, and her belief that the country will grow firmly and strongly under the Party leadership.
Mai Van Tri, a Party member in Thuan Loc ward, the central city of Hue, said General Secretary Trong is an eminent son of the nation, noting he and the Party Central Committee, the Politburo and the Secretariat have rolled out various guidelines to help Vietnam overcome difficulties and steadily move forward.
What the leader did have contributed to consolidating the Party’s position, and won the absolute trust of officials, Party members and people nationwide, he affirmed.
Nguyen Van Thuan, a retired official in Vinh Ninh ward, Hue city, said General Secretary Trong is an excellent disciple of President Ho Chi Minh, and that he was always dedicated to taking care of people’s lives.
The great achievements in national construction and development over the past time see the huge contributions of the Party leader, he said./.
