The delegation included General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam
(CPV) Central Committee Nguyen Phu Trong, former Party General Secretaries Le
Kha Phieu and Nong Duc Manh, President Tran Dai Quang, former President Tran
Duc Luong, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, former Prime Minister Nguyen Tan
Dung, NA Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, former NA Chairman Nguyen Van An, and
President of the VFF Central Committee Tran Thanh Man.
The leaders and former leaders then paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh at
his mausoleum.
The same day, many delegations from the Ministry of National Defence, the
Ministry of Public Security, the Government Office, the Ministry of Labour,
Invalids and Social Affairs, and Hanoi city also laid wreaths in memory of
martyrs and paid homage to President Ho Chi Minh.
The Vietnam Invalids and Martyrs Day is a special chance for the entire country
to commemorate millions of martyrs and war invalids who sacrificed their lives
and health during the wars.
In 1947, just two years after President Ho Chi Minh delivered the declaration
of independence, the first decree on preferential policies for war invalids and
fallen soldiers was issued.
The same year, July 27 was designated as the national war invalids day, which
was later renamed the War Invalids and Martyrs Day, to call on the entire
community to support war invalids and martyrs’ families in acknowledgement of
their contributions to the nation.

After three years of implementing the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW on continuing performing Directive 05-CT/TW on enhancing the learning and studying of President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, moral example and lifestyle, Lac Thuy district of Hoa Binh province has discovered many effective models and practices, creating a spillover effect in the local community, helping to develop a clean and strong Party Organisation meeting the requirements in the new situation.

Seventy years have passed, but the memories of the Dien Bien Phu campaign in 1954 have never faded in the mind of veteran Ly Van Ngoan from Dong Tien hamlet, Phu Thanh commune, Lac Thuy district.
Over recent times, in Mai Chau district, there have been many typical examples of studying and following President Ho Chi Minh's ideology, ethics, and lifestyle in all aspects of the social life, contributing to successfully implementing the tasks of socio-economic development, and ensuring social welfare and defence and security in the locality.
