Hanoi (VNA) - Party General Secretary To Lam paid his respect to President Ho Chi Minh at House 67 in the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site inside the Presidential Palace in Hanoi on December 15 morning on the occasion of 70 years since the late leader lived and worked at the Palace.

Lam offered incense to President Ho Chi Minh, the beloved leader of the Vietnamese people, who devoted his whole life to the glorious revolutionary career of the Party, nation and people.

Writing on the book of memories at the site, he stated that the the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site inside the Presidential Palace, a National Special Relic, epitomises the spiritual essence of the nation. Every corner here reflects the profound legacy of a leader who dedicated his life to independence, freedom, and the happiness of the people. This space reveals the simplicity and timeless greatness of a leader admired not only by the Vietnamese people but also by the world. Visiting this site feels like returning home, evoking closeness, warmth, and an enduring connection with Uncle Ho.

The General Secretary emphasised that the relic site, where President Ho Chi Minh lived and worked 70 years ago, remains a source of inspiration, instilling patriotism, solidarity, and resilience in successive generations. The exhibits and stories preserved here remind future generations to live and contribute in a manner worthy of his legacy, he noted.

The Party chief talked to staff at the site, praising their dedication to preserving and promoting the historical and cultural value of the relics. He noted that their efforts ensure both domestic and international visitors can feel the presence of President Ho Chi Minh in every aspect of the site.

Reflecting on President Ho Chi Minh’s will, Lam highlighted the leader’s ultimate wish for a united, peaceful, independent, democratic, and prosperous Vietnam, contributing to the global revolutionary cause. He affirmed that while some of these aspirations have been realised, efforts to fulfil the remaining goals continue in earnest.

On December 19, 1954, following the victory of the resistance war against French colonialism, President Ho Chi Minh returned from the Viet Bac revolutionary base to live and work at the Presidential Palace. Over the past 70 years, his legacy remains vividly present in every artefact and corner of the site.

The relic site, housing a wealth of h🏅istorical documents, artefacts, and stories, which has been carefully preserved, provides a unique and authentic i🅰nsight into President Ho Chi Minh’s life, career, ideology, morality, and lifestyle./.
