During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh always paid attention to the people of the Northwest region in general and the ethnic people of Lai Chau province in particular.

On December 12, 1953, upon receiving the news that Lai Chau town had been liberated, Uncle Ho wrote a letter to the people and cadres of Lai Chau province. In the letter, he kindly inquired, expressed his love, sympathy, sharing, encouragement and motivation to the people and cadres of Lai Chau province.

Uncle advised: “Solidarity, love, and mutual assistance; help the army destroy bandits, eliminate traitors, and maintain order; strive to increase production so that everyone can have a comfortable life; be extremely loyal to the Fatherland and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. As for those who previously went astray and followed the enemy, if they return to the Fatherland, the Government will be lenient. Cadres must truly be close to and help the people, and put the interests of the people above all else.”

Implementing the sacred testament of President Ho Chi Minh, the Party Committee, Government and people of all ethnic groups in Lai Chau province always promote the tradition of solidarity, well implement all policies and guidelines of the Party, policies and laws of the State; overcome difficulties, focus on effectively implementing many movements, programs and projects for socio-economic development, contributing to improving the material and spiritual life of ethnic people; the appearance of rural and urban areas of the province has improved a lot.

Up to now, the province has had 39 communes meeting new rural standards, fulfilling Uncle Ho's wish of "everyone having food to eat, clothes to wear, everyone going to school", a civilized and progressive society.

Before the spirit of Uncle Ho, representatives of the Party Committee, Government and people of all ethnic groups in Lai Chau province pledged to continue promoting the achieved results, overcoming all difficulties, and building Lai Chau province to become more and more developed, rich and civilized as Uncle Ho always wished during his lifetime.
