Consul General Dinh Hoang Linh emphasised that the Vietnamese people at home and abroad will forever remember the heroes and martyrs, war invalids, and wounded soldiers, who fought and sacrificed for national independence, freedom, unity, and defence of the Fatherland.

The great sacrifices have led to peace, development, and prosperity for the country, and brought happiness to the Vietnamese people today, affirmed Linh.

He emphasised that the Vietnamese community in Thailand always bears in mind and organises meaningful activities on national anniversaries, demonstrating the inheritance and promotion of the glorious revolutionary tradition, the spirit of solidarity, and deep patriotism.

The Overseas Vietnamese Martyrs’ Memorial, built at Ban Chich pagoda in 2010, is currently the resting place for five Vietnamese martyrs./.
