Testament, and the 69 th anniversary of the August Revolution and
National Day. Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, President of the
Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee Nguyen Thien Nhan, and
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc graced the guests with their
honourable presence.
In his welcoming speech, head of the Party
Central Committee’s Commission for Education and Popularisation Dinh
The Huynh said that when President Ho Chi Minh left this world behind on
September 2, 1969, he gifted the Party and nation an invaluable
spiritual legacy, namely his thoughts, virtue, and, above all, his
sacred testament.
“This timeless document echoes the noble
virtue, mindset and soul of a national hero and global cultural
celebrity. Over the past 45 years, Ho Chi Minh’s testament has
emboldened and guided our entire Party, people and armed forces through a
myriad of hardships, pushing our revolution on, from victory to
victory”, he said.
The will predicted the inevitability of
triumph in the war against America and urged the Party to devise plans
to improve public well-being, both economically and culturally.
It lays out a theoretical approach to the process of building the
Party and socialism, along with the provision of useful instructions, he
added.
