Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on August 29 went on a
pilgrimage to the former revolutionary base of Tan Trao in Son Duong
district, the northern mountainous province of Tuyen Quang, which was
dubbed the capital of Vietnam’s revolution in the anti-French resistance
war.
At the special national historical relic,
the Party leader offered incense in memory of President Ho Chi Minh at
the hut where the President lived from May to August 1945. It is from
this simple jungle hut that he instructed preparations nationwide for
the August Revolution, the success of which led to the birth of the
Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945.
General Secretary Trong also visited the Tan Trao communal house,
where a national congress was convened on August 18 and 19. The congress
adopted an order to launch the general uprising and the 10 big policies
of the Viet Minh, as well as elected a provisional government led by Ho
Chi Minh.
He later held a meeting with local
officials on socio-economic development and made a tour of the two
factories run by An Hoa paper joint stock company in the district.-VNA
