At the conference, the reporters heard Professor, Dr. Hoang Chi Bao - Senior Lecturer of Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics inform about the historical significance and eternal value of President Ho Chi Minh's Testament, and the outstanding results after 50 years of implementing his Testament.

In 1965, Uncle Ho began writing his Will, a document he called “a letter left for his compatriots and comrades”, “a few words before he left”. According to Professor, Dr. Hoang Chi Bao, the fact that Uncle Ho wrote his Will on his birthday showed his cultural qualities.

“Writing a Will on his birthday, choosing 9-10 am to write and edit the Will, speaks to the depth of Uncle Ho's inner world, his cultural character, and his determination to overcome death with life,” the Professor said.

The entire Testament is a belief in the victory of the revolution and the belief that Vietnam will develop stronger, more dignified and more beautiful after the end of the war. Professor Hoang Chi Bao also affirmed that the 1,000-word Testament of President Ho Chi Minh over the years has officially become a national treasure of the entire nation.

Implementing Uncle Ho's Testament, over the past 50 years we have strictly carried out the 5 oaths: Suppressing pain and turning it into strength, determined to completely liberate the South, bringing the North and South together as one family; Persisting in the ideal and goal of national independence and socialism, determined to successfully build socialism in Vietnam; Preserving solidarity and unity within the Party as if preserving the pupil of one's eye; Doing everything for the happiness of the people; The entire Party, the entire people, and the entire army vow to study and follow the exemplary morality of President Ho Chi Minh with the 4 words "diligence - thrift - integrity - uprightness".
