General Secretary Lam respectfully paid homage to kings who made significant contributions to national construction and development, expressing gratitude for their legacy and praying for national prosperity, peace and the well-being of the people.
In a meeting with staff of the Thang Long Imperial Citadel relic site, the Party chief commended their efforts in safeguarding, preserving and promoting the site’s cultural heritage values. He underscored the citadel’s profound historical significance as a millennium-old symbol of the nation’s enduring spirit, cultural quintessence and statecraft, where successive dynasties founded and defended the country, thereby nurturing Vietnam’s longstanding traditions of patriotism and civilisation.
To help preserve the nation’s heroic history and cherished moral values, he called on the site’s staff to further advance restoration, conservation and promotion efforts, ensuring that both domestic and international visitors gain deeper insight into and pride in the historical legacy of Vietnam and Thang Long-Hanoi.
Earlier the same morning, the General Secretary offered incense in remembrance of President Ho Chi Minh at House 67, where the leader spent his final moments. The site continues to preserve numerous mementos associated with his life and revolutionary career.
General Secretary Lam urged the staff members here to preserve and promote valuable documents and artifacts related to President Ho Chi Minh, helping the public and international visitors better understand the late leader’s life and legacy.
In 2025, the relic site welcomed approximately 2.6 million domestic and international visitors and organised numerous thematic exhibitions.
