Consul General Dinh Hoang Linh emphasised that the Vietnamese people at home and abroad will forever remember the heroes and martyrs, war invalids, and wounded soldiers, who fought and sacrificed for national independence, freedom, unity, and defence of the Fatherland.
The great sacrifices have led to peace, development, and prosperity for the country, and brought happiness to the Vietnamese people today, affirmed Linh.
