The commemoration ceremony on the 56th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's death is a very special occasion to remember him, to recall his life, career, achievements, and immense contributions to the country and homeland; it is also an opportunity to continue reminding each person to better fulfill his sacred testament.

Throughout his 79 years of life, President Ho Chi Minh always cherished his homeland with profound and sacred feelings. On July 21, 1969, he sent a letter to the Executive Committee of the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee.

In the letter, he instructed: "Compatriots and comrades in the province, strive to make Nghe An one of the most prosperous provinces in the North as quickly as possible."

The 56th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's passing is also an opportunity for the entire Party Committee, government, and people of the province to continue promoting the study and emulation of his noble thoughts, ethics, and style; to gain a fuller and deeper understanding of their responsibilities and the tasks that need to be done, and to strive and be determined to fulfill President Ho Chi Minh's wishes for the homeland.

Throughout his arduous and sacrificial revolutionary life, he always devoted his entire mind and health to the revolutionary cause; but no matter where he was, what he did, or under what circumstances, his homeland of Nghe An always remained a cherished and deeply felt concern for him, a complete and unwavering affection in his heart.

Following the teachings of beloved President Ho Chi Minh for the past 56 years, the Party Committee, government, and people of the province have always strived, promoting the strength of great unity, overcoming all difficulties, enthusiastically contributing manpower and resources to the resistance war against foreign invaders, protecting and building the country, actively innovating and building the homeland, and have achieved outstanding achievements in various fields.
