* Offering incense and flowers at Quang Tri Citadel, in an emotional atmosphere, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the delegation observed a minute of silence to commemorate and pay tribute to the great contributions of the heroes and martyrs who heroically sacrificed their lives during the 81-day and night campaign to protect the Citadel and Quang Tri town, for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland and for the peaceful, happy and prosperous life of the people.
During our people's resistance war against the US to save the country, Quang Tri Citadel has recorded in the history of the nation a shining golden milestone of revolutionary heroism through the heroic and resilient fight to protect the Citadel and Quang Tri town during 81 historic days and nights, the fiery summer of 1972 of our army and people, contributing significantly to the victory at the negotiating table to reach the Paris Agreement in 1973, creating momentum for our army and people to launch a stormy, lightning-fast attack to create the historic spring victory of 1975, completely liberating the South, and unifying the country.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the delegation vowed to unite, strive, and contribute to the country and people; to be worthy of the sacrifices of heroes, martyrs, and previous generations; to contribute to bringing the country into a new era - an era of national prosperity, civilization, and prosperity.
* Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the delegation laid wreaths and offered incense to commemorate the heroic martyrs at the National Martyrs' Cemetery on Route 9 - the eternal resting place of more than 10,800 heroic martyrs from across the country who fought, served in combat and heroically sacrificed on the Route 9 front, the Quang Tri battlefield and the neighboring country of Laos during the resistance war against the US to save the country and gain national independence.
During the resistance war against the US to save the country, Route 9 was a strategic road connecting from the Vietnam-Laos border to Dong Ha. Along Route 9, the US - puppet regime built military bases, strongholds and bunkers to cut off the support of the North for the Southern battlefield. Route 9 has become a legend of our army and people during the resistance war against the US because of its heroic and glorious feats and also the obsession and horror for the US and puppet soldiers in the years 1965-1972.
Before the heroic martyrs, with respect, infinite gratitude, deep gratitude and sacred responsibility and duty to the excellent children who sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, for the happiness of the people, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and the working delegation vow to continue to strive, unite, make efforts to overcome difficulties and challenges, and successfully complete all assigned tasks.

The life and activities of comrade Le Duan are a shining example of striving and sacrificing for national independence and socialism, for the communist ideal.

In particular, during his 15 years as General Secretary (1960-1975), in the context of many difficulties and challenges for the country, comrade Le Duan, together with President Ho Chi Minh and the Party Central Committee, led our army and people to defeat the new-style colonial imperialists, the American invaders and their lackeys, liberating the South and reunifying the country.
