President Ho Chi Minh was a talented leader, a national hero who devoted all his life to the national independence and freedom and happiness of the people while tirelessly striving for peace and progress in the world.

The delegation also laid flowers at the Monument for Heroic Martyrs on Bac Son street.

Also on September 1, delegations from the Ministries of Defence, Public Security and Foreign Affairs, as well as the Party Committee and People’s Committee of Hanoi paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh and laid flowers at the Monument for Heroic Martyrs.
