Vietnam's Top Leader Attends Ceremony Marking 72 Years Since Ho Chi Minh's Visit to Hung Temple

General Secretary of the Communist Party and President To Lam attended a ceremony on September 19 at the special national historical relic site of Hung Temple in Phu Tho province, marking the 72nd anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's visit to the temple. The event was jointly organized by the Phu Tho Provincial Party Committee, People's Council, People's Committee, and the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee, in coordination with the Ministry of Public Security. During the ceremony, a monument titled 'Uncle Ho with the National Festival' was also inaugurated. This monument symbolizes the nation's founding father, President Ho Chi Minh, and the unity and development of the country. In his speech at the ceremony, General Secretary and President To Lam highlighted the significance of Hung Temple in Vietnam's history and the spiritual impact of President Ho Chi Minh's visit on the people. He also praised the unity and efforts of the people on the path to national independence, unification, and modernization. This commemorative event demonstrates the stance of the Vietnamese Communist Party in governing the nation under its single-party system, respecting Vietnam's traditions and cultural heritage, and inheriting the will of its great past leaders. It can also be interpreted as part of Vietnam's strategy to manage its complex relationship with China and establish its position in the international community, while balancing economic growth with social stability.
