Speaking at the ceremony, President Truong Tan Sang affirmed: “Mr. Huynh Thuc Khang is a typical figure of the patriotic movement in the early 20th century, of the same generation as the patriots Phan Boi Chau and Phan Chau Trinh, and a classmate of Mr. Nguyen Sinh Sac, the father of President Ho Chi Minh. His life is a shining example of the tradition of overcoming difficulties, loving to learn, of a noble and simple lifestyle, a life devoted to the country and the people.”

The President also mentioned Mr. Huynh Thuc Khang, the founder and editor of the newspaper Tiếng Dân, a symbol of the Vietnam National Union, and then acting president of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam when President Ho Chi Minh was on a long business trip abroad. Especially the Duy Tan movement "enlightening the people, strengthening the people's spirit, improving the people's lives", arousing a widespread patriotic movement from North to South, culminating in the anti-tax movement in Central Vietnam that shook the ruling apparatus of the French colonialists.

The President emphasized: “The life of activities, noble personality, talent and virtue of the cultural figure, patriot, and acting President Huynh Thuc Khang is a shining example for present and future generations to learn and follow.”
