Hanoi (VNA) - State President Luong Cuong offered incense in commemoration of late Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, and paid visits to former Party General Secretary Nong Duc Manh, and former State President Tran Duc Luong in Hanoi on January 22 on the threshold of the Lunar New Year (Tet) 2025.

Offering incense to the late Party leader, Cuong expressed deep gratitude for his significant contributions to the country’s revolutionary cause and nation-building and development process.

He described Trong as a particularly outstanding leader who devoted his all life to the Party, the country, and the people; and a shining example of a steadfast communist soldier embodying the qualities, talents, willpower, and intellect of the leadership generation of Vietnam during the ‘Doi moi’ (Renewal) period.

The legacy he left will continue to be inherited and developed by the Party, people, and armed forces, contributing to the success of the renovation cause and helping the country firmly advance toward socialism, Cuong affirmed.

On this occasion, the State leader wished the spouse of the late Party General Secretary, Ngo Thi Man, and her family a new year of good health, success and prosperity.

The former Party chief, for his part, expressed his confidence that under the wise leadership of the Party coupled with the support of the people and army, Vietnam will enter a new phase of development with greater achievements.
