The delegation of the Party and State visits President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum.
The wreath bore the inscription: "Forever grateful to the great President Ho Chi Minh."
President Ho Chi Minh embodied the shining qualities of morality, wisdom, courage, and conscience of the nation and the era. He was a genius leader, a great teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, a hero of national liberation, an eminent man of culture, a model communist soldier in the international movement, and a close friend of peace-loving peoples worldwide.
His life was a powerful symbol of Vietnamese patriotism and revolutionary heroism. He founded and nurtured the Communist Party of Vietnam. Under his leadership, the August Revolution succeeded, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
The victory of the August Revolution demonstrated the wise and talented leadership of President Ho Chi Minh. This triumph not only opened a new era for the nation but also laid a firm foundation for Vietnam to win the resistance wars against France and the United States, ultimately achieving national independence, freedom, peace and reunification.
Afterward, the delegation laid wreaths, offered incense, and commemorated fallen heroes at the Memorial on Bac Son Street. In the solemn atmosphere, Party and State leaders honored the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for national liberation, independence, peace, reunification, and the happiness of the people. The wreath carried the words: "Forever grateful to the heroic martyrs."

The delegation included Standing Deputy Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Nguyen Van Phong, members of the Standing Committee, and leaders of the People's Council, the People's Committee, the Fatherland Front Committee, and city departments and organizations.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always held a special affection for Hanoi. He once reminded: "The whole country looks to our capital. The world looks to our capital. All of us must strive to maintain order and security and make our capital peaceful, beautiful, and healthy both physically and spiritually."
Honoring his teachings, Hanoi's leaders pledged to uphold solidarity, fulfill political duties, and set an example of pioneering spirit to lead the nation into a new era. They expressed determination to build the capital into a city that is increasingly "Civilized, Cultured, Modern," and happy.
The Hanoi delegation later visited the Memorial on Bac Son Street to honor fallen heroes. Also that morning, another Hanoi delegation, led by Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the People's Council Nguyen Ngoc Tuan, offered incense at Mai Dich Cemetery.
On the same day, delegations of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense; the Central Public Security Party Committee and the Ministry of Public Security; international delegations; and a large number of officials and citizens also paid tribute at President Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and laid wreaths to honor the heroic martyrs.
