Memorial service, funeral procession for Party leader Nguyen Phu Trong
VOV.VN - A memorial service for General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) Nguyen Phu Trong took place at the National Funeral Hall in Hanoi on July 26, with large number of leaders and people from all walks of life along with international friends paying their last respects to the late Party leader.
Reading the funeral oration, Politburo member and President To Lam recalled the great contributions by Party Secretary General Nguyen Phu Trong to the revolutionary cause of the people and the nation as well as the international communist movement, and the maintenance of peace, stability, and development in the region and the world.
Many delegations from the Party, State, National Assembly, Government, Vietnam Fatherland Front, ministries, departments, armed forces, and many citizens from across the country gathered at the National Funeral Hall in Hanoi to bid last farewell to the Vietnamese Party leader.
Nguyen Phu Trong was a beloved person of the Vietnamese nation, a particularly excellent leader, a staunch communist, and a shining example who had tirelessly studied and followed President Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality and style, a greatly prestigious figure of the Vietnamese Party, State, and people, and also a great friend of the people around the world.
General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong, with nearly 60 years of service, made significant contributions to the Party and the nation. He was honoured with the Gold Star Order, the 55-year Party membership badge, and numerous other prestigious awards. His passing is a tremendous loss for the Vietnamese Party, State and people of Vietnam.
A burial service for the Party chief will be held at Mai Dich Cemetery in Hanoi the same day.
