Minister To Lam and delegates pay respect to late General Secretary Truong Chinh

A group of delegates attending the National-level Scientific Seminar "Promoting the value of the Outline of Vietnamese Culture in building truly clean, strong, regular, elite and modern People's Public Security Forces" visited the Party General Secretary Truong Trinh Memorial House in Hanh Thien village, Xuan Hong commune, and offered incense and flowers at the Monument to Party General Secretary Truong Trinh in Xuan Truong town, Xuan Truong district, Nam Dinh province, on the morning of June 12.

At the event, General To Lam, Politburo member, Minister of Public Security; Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thang, Politburo member, President of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Chairman of the Central Theory Council and other delegates paid respect to former Party General Secretary Truong Chinh - a resilient communist, an excellent student of President Ho Chi Minh, an outstanding leader of the Party and an elite son of the land of Nam Dinh.

Truong Chinh, real name Dang Xuan Khu, was born on February 9, 1907 in Hanh Thien Village, Xuan Hong Commune, Nam Dinh’s Xuan Truong District. When he was 18, Truong Chinh participated in a movement campaigning for the release of patriotic scholar Phan Boi Chau from French prison, marking the first step in his revolutionary career.

In 1927, Truong Chinh joined the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth League, the predecessor of the Indochina Communist Party. He was one of those who campaigned for the establishment of the Indochina Communist Party in North Vietnam in 1929.

The late Party leader is also known as an outstanding political theorist,  journalist, cultural researcher and poet, with many works on Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought, as well as the Party’s view on cultural issues, which laid the theoretical foundation for the building of a new Vietnamese culture.
