Every year, on the occasion of the country's important holidays, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong comes to offer incense in memory of President Ho Chi Minh at House 67, expressing his respect, gratitude, and remembrance of the immense contributions of President Ho Chi Minh, the genius leader of the Vietnamese people.

In a solemn and emotional atmosphere, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong lit incense, respectfully remembered and expressed gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh, the beloved leader of the Vietnamese people, who left behind a priceless treasure, valuable lessons on ideology, ethics, style, and way of life for present and future generations to learn and follow.

Talking intimately with the cadres and staff of the Relic Site, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said that there are many things to say about our beloved President Ho Chi Minh. Up to now, there have been countless works about him, and domestic and foreign researchers have many research works about him.

According to the General Secretary, Uncle Ho is a great leader, a teacher of the Vietnamese revolution, deeply loved by the nation. He left us an enormous legacy. But when talking about Uncle Ho, we must understand and grasp very clearly Ho Chi Minh's ideology, Ho Chi Minh's style and Ho Chi Minh's morality.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong analyzed that Ho Chi Minh's thought is a system of viewpoints and guidelines for the Vietnamese revolution, which is the thought of national independence associated with socialism. Or more broadly, the system of Uncle Ho's consistent guiding ideology is national independence associated with socialism.

"After driving out the colonialists and imperialists, we built our country to be more and more decent and beautiful, that is to advance to socialism, this is the most fundamental ideology that we must maintain and develop Ho Chi Minh's ideology. Currently, our Party is following this path. We must clearly explain the very basic contents of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, or in other words, national liberation revolution, followed by socialist revolution leading to socialism, that is also the orientation from Marxism-Leninism. Why do we say we must be absolutely loyal to Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh's ideology? When international guests come, we need to propagate this ideology" - the General Secretary said.

Referring to the issue of Ho Chi Minh's morality, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said, to put it simply and simply like Uncle Ho, it means diligence, thrift, integrity, impartiality. Diligence means diligence, thrift means saving, integrity means keeping one's integrity pure, it means being upright, proper, and upright, all for the sake of the country, for the people, for public affairs, do not think of the individual. Therefore, we must fight against individualism, promote revolutionary morality, and wipe out individualism.

The General Secretary had a friendly talk with officers and staff of the Relic Site.

General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong added that Ho Chi Minh's style is closely linked to Uncle Ho's ideology and morality. Talking about Uncle Ho, we clearly see his simple style, close to the people, respecting the people, learning from the people, trusting the people, the people can do everything; cadres are the ones who must set an example for the people to understand, trust, and do.

In the coming time, the entire Party, the entire army and the entire people must continue to propagate and educate on this issue, because this is a priceless spiritual heritage for our nation.

Once again, General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong noted that the cadres and staff of the Relic Site must always study, practice and continue to try to convey Ho Chi Minh's thoughts, morality, style, intelligence and personality so that visitors coming here not only admire but also sincerely express their gratitude, must self-correct, self-reflect, learn from Uncle Ho sincerely, and inspire a large number of domestic and foreign tourists to come and visit, so that each person must think, must have practical actions, and learning from Uncle Ho is not just shouting slogans.
