Five decades ago, the delegates were exemplary models of a younger generation who overcame difficulties to make significant contributions to the country’s struggle for the liberation of South Vietnam and national reunification.

At the reception, the delegates recalled their unforgettable memories of the war as well as meeting with President Ho.

They also expressed their delight with the success of the 12th National Party Congress, saying that they have trust in the solidarity and consensus of the entire Party and people as well as the country’s steady development in the coming time.

Speaking at the function, President Truong Tan Sang stressed that Party and State always remember the dedication of the guests and national contributors in general.

He emphasised that the success of the recent 12th National Party Congress was contributed to by the entire Party, people and army.

Vietnam has made huge achievements during 30 years of the Doi Moi (Reform) process, he said.

He called on the delegates to take practical actions to make further contributions to national construction while establishing themselves as positive examples for the younger generations to follow.
