On the morning of July 25, the official car with license plate 80B-2089 that once served General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was brought to the National Funeral Home yard.
At the National Funeral Home No. 5 Tran Thanh Tong, the Toyota Crown car with license plate 80B-2089 that served General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong for decades was also brought.
This is a special car, bearing the mark of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong's simple, humble, and devoted style. Having held many important positions, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has always clearly demonstrated the qualities of diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality, and selflessness.
Many people who came to visit recognized the car and took pictures to preserve one of the artifacts associated with the General Secretary.
The car served General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong from the time he was Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee until he held the important positions of Chairman of the National Assembly, General Secretary, and President.
For decades, the car has brought General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong back to the people and the grassroots.
Former Head of the Party Cell, Central Organization Department Nguyen Duc Ha said that in the middle of the 12th term, the Central Party Office proposed to change the car for the General Secretary because the Toyota was old and had been used for many years. However, he did not agree, saying that "the car still runs well". For long trips, there is a 7-seat high-chassis car, and for longer trips, there is a plane. The Crown is only used to travel around Hanoi, so there is no need to change.
Because according to the General Secretary, changing the car would cost more, more money from the people. Since then, the office has not mentioned changing the car again.
The state funeral of General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong will take place on July 25-26. In Hanoi, the funeral will take place at the National Funeral Home No. 5 Tran Thanh Tong, the General Secretary's hometown in Dong Anh district. In Ho Chi Minh City, the funeral will be held at the Ho Chi Minh City Thong Nhat Hall. People will bring their ID cards or phones with VNeID installed when visiting.
