Hanoi (VNA)ꦓ – Party General Secretary and State President To Lam paid floral tribute and offered incense to fallen heroes at Quang Tri Ancient Citadel special relic site in the central province of Quang Tri on October 15.
He was accompanied by Minister of National Defence Gen. Phan Van Giang and Minister of Public Security Sen. Lieut. Gen. Luong Tam Quang, and other senior officials of ministries and central agencies, along with those from Quang Tri province.
Lam and his entourage observed a minute of silence to remember fallen heroes who sacrificed their lives during the fierce 81-day-and-night campaign to defend the Quang Tri Citadel and Quang Tri town in 1972. This historic battle played a pivotal role in the success at the negotiating table, leading to the Paris Agreement in 1973, and ultimately paving the way for the rapid and powerful offensive that culminated in the historic Spring Victory of 1975, fully liberating the South and reunifying the country.
The delegation also laid wreaths and offered incense at the Road 9 National Martyrs’ Cemetery, the final resting place of over 10,800 heroes and martyrs who lost their lives on the Road 9 front, Quang Tri battlefield, and in neighbouring Laos during the resistance war against the US.
