The tribute took place as part of the activities to celebrate the 74th
anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19) and the 50-year implementation
of President Ho Chi Minh’s testament (1969 – 2019).
At the ceremony, both leaders vowed to follow the late President’s thoughts,
moral examples and style, while implementing a vision for national development
in 2030, which marks the 100th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of
Vietnam.
On the occasion, the two leaders presented 16 scholarships to students from 16
communes located in the Ba Vi National Park’s buffer zone.
Ho Chi Minh led the revolution to gain independence for Vietnam from France in
August 1945 and later became the President of the country. He began writing his
will in May 1965 and finished it in May 1969 – four months before he passed
away. The special historic document has become a guideline for Vietnam’s
revolution and development during the past 50 years.-VNA
