A special highlight of this year, along with the Opening Program of the National Lotus Village Festival 2025, is the inauguration of the Statue "Uncle Ho Visits His Hometown" donated by the Ministry of Public Security.
The project was built right next to the ancient banyan tree of Sen Village, where during the two short visits to his hometown after many years away, Uncle Ho was moved to meet, warmly talked, praised, encouraged and advised the people of his hometown to always maintain solidarity, be exemplary, help each other increase production, practice thrift, and make the people rich and the country strong.
From now on, in the Sen Village space complex and the Kim Lien National Special Relic Site, there will be an extremely meaningful construction. The presence of the statue of Uncle Ho visiting his hometown makes everyone always feel like Uncle Ho is still with us every day, with a heart of immense love and sacred feelings for his homeland."highly meaningful"; remind each of us to always remember and need to continue to make more efforts to build our homeland, our country"more decent, bigger and more beautiful"Firmly step into the new era - the era of national aspirations for strength, comprehensive integration and profound innovation.

On this occasion, on behalf of the Party Committee, government and people of Nghe An province, I would like to sincerely thank General Secretary To Lam, leaders of the Party, State, ministries, branches, central agencies, localities and units for always showing affection, special attention and support to the beloved homeland of Uncle Ho over the past time.
