General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong offers incense to commemorate Uncle Ho

As the whole country prepares to celebrate the Lunar New Year 2015 and the 85th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, on the morning of February 16 (the 28th day of the Lunar New Year), General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited and offered incense to commemorate Uncle Ho at House 67 in the President Ho Chi Minh Relic Site at the Presidential Palace.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong lit incense, expressing his respect and infinite gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh, the beloved father of the Vietnamese people, who devoted and sacrificed his whole life for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland and for the happiness of the people.

Speaking intimately with the cadres and staff of the relic site, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong stated: This is a sacred place, everyone who comes here should meditate and reflect on themselves to cultivate, train and work to be worthy of Uncle Ho.

The General Secretary was moved when talking about the famous work written by President Ho Chi Minh on the occasion of the Party's founding anniversary in 1969, titled "Improving revolutionary morality, wiping out individualism". The article was short, less than 700 words, but contained great ideas, addressing the most important issue in the work of Party building and rectification so that our Party could successfully complete its tasks in the new period.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong emphasized: In the entire ideological legacy of Uncle Ho, there is a very important part about Party building with extremely profound theories and a system of basic viewpoints on Party building. In Ho Chi Minh's thought, the thought on Party building has a very important position, throughout from the time Uncle Ho organized training classes for cadres of the organization "Revolutionary Youth Comrades Association" until before he passed away with the article "Improving revolutionary morality, wiping out individualism" and the Testament.

The General Secretary reiterated Uncle Ho's advice on Party building: The revolution must first have the Party's leadership, to mobilize the people internally, and externally, to connect with the proletariat and working class everywhere to mobilize international friends for support. The revolution must have the Party's leadership to be successful, just like a boat must have a pilot to run in the right direction. To play the leadership role well, the Party must be a genuine revolutionary organization of the class, of the people, of the nation; must devote all its heart and strength to the people, to the country, and put the highest interests of the people and the nation above all else. Cadres and Party members are servants of the people and must not be far from the people.

The General Secretary affirmed: The more we contemplate Uncle Ho's teachings in the current conditions, the more profound and profound they become. We are implementing the 4th Central Resolution on Party building, including fighting against the degradation of political ideology, qualities, ethics as well as fighting against individualism. In the conditions of the market mechanism, opening up and international integration, cadres and party members must be imbued with the need to improve revolutionary ethics and wipe out individualism. This is a long-term and arduous task because President Ho Chi Minh also warned that: "A nation, a Party and each person, who were great yesterday, had great appeal, are not necessarily loved and praised by everyone today and tomorrow if their hearts are no longer pure, if they fall into individualism".

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong praised the staff of the Relic Site for preserving and conserving intact the documents and artifacts associated with Uncle Ho's life. More than anyone else, each staff member of the Relic Site must be the pioneer in implementing Uncle Ho's teachings on Party building, studying and following Uncle Ho's ideology and moral example, doing well in Party building work, contributing to widely propagating Uncle Ho's teachings and deeds to the people, comrades across the country and international friends.

* On the same morning, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong visited the family, wished a happy new year and wished longevity to Professor and Labor Hero Vu Khieu.

Professor Vu Khieu was the first Director of the Institute of Sociology, laying the foundation for the development of Vietnamese sociology. He was also the author of hundreds of works and major scientific works on Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh's thought and many other fields such as philosophy, ethics, culture, literature - art, society; typically the scientific work "On Vietnamese culture", making an important contribution to the process of building and developing Vietnamese culture. The General Secretary expressed his respect and wished Professor, Hero of Labor Vu Khieu a long life and continued intellectual contributions to the country, to the revolutionary cause of the nation, forever being the pride of intellectuals and people of the Capital.

Professor Vu Khieu thanked General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong for his sentiments and respectfully presented General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong with a pair of parallel sentences: "Raising the Party flag, the hardships are unchanging/Learning from Uncle Ho, upright and impartial" "In the year of the Horse, we welcome Spring, Spring welcomes Happiness/In the year of the Goat, we begin to write, the writing blossoms", expressing confidence in the leadership of the Party, in the bright future of the country and the nation. In the context of the country facing many difficulties and challenges, our entire army and people unite in one heart, determined to follow the path that the Party and beloved Uncle Ho have chosen, studying and following his ideology and moral example, then surely the spring of the country will "blossom", the people will be prosperous and happy.
