Addressing the event, General Secretary and President To Lam, on behalf of Party and State leaders, stressed that throughout the nation’s 81-year-long, glorious yet arduous journey marked by sacrifice and hardship, every victory had been forged through the strength of the people, the sound leadership of the CPV and the contribution of generations of officials and Party members, including those honored at the ceremony.
The top leader affirmed that the Party, State and people will always hold these great contribution in the highest regard and remain deeply grateful for them.
Alongside economic development, the Party and State pay particular attention to caring for people who rendered services to the nation, he said, noting that a nationwide 500-day-and-night campaign to search for, gather and identify the remains of fallen soldiers is underway.
General Secretary and President To Lam noted that the central government has provided Hanoi with important conditions and resources, and therefore the capital’s responsibilities must be correspondingly greater. Hanoi must take the lead and set an example, achieving faster growth while improving the quality of development, and leading the way in Party building, cultural development, science and technology, innovation, modern urban governance and improvement of people’s lives.
He expressed his hope that veteran Party members would continue to maintain their health and draw on their prestige, wisdom, experience and revolutionary spirit to remain a source of spiritual support for Party committees, authorities and the people; offer frank and constructive opinions on Party and government building; and pass on revolutionary traditions to the younger generations.
He asked the Party Committee, People’s Council, People’s Committee, Viet Nam Fatherland Front Committee and socio-political organizations of Hanoi to continue paying close attention to the material and spiritual well-being and health of elderly Party members, while regularly visiting them, listening to them and respectfully considering their heartfelt and responsible opinions.
Speaking on behalf of the Party members receiving badges at the ceremony, Nguyen Anh Lien, a member of Party Cell 23 under the Party Organization of Ngoc Ha ward, who was awarded a 70-year Party membership badge, expressed his pride and thanked Party committees at all levels for their guidance, as well as comrades and colleagues for their support and encouragement and the people for their protection throughout his years of revolutionary service.
He affirmed his determination to devote his entire life to following President Ho Chi Minh’s teachings, fulfill the responsibilities of a Party member and contribute to building a clean and strong Party in service of the Fatherland and the people.
