HÀ NỘI — National Assembly Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn on Tuesday paid tribute to late Party, State and National Assembly leaders, and visited former high-level leaders of the country. 

He offered incense at a memorial site dedicated to late Chairman of the NA Standing Committee Bùi Bằng Đoàn in Hà Nội’s Ứng Thiên Commune, and paid pre-Tết visits to the families of late Party General Secretary Trường Chinh and late NA Chairman Lê Quang Đạo, and former Party General Secretary Nông Đức Mạnh and former NA Chairwoman Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân, and the family of late Minister of Public Security Lê Minh Hương.

Chairman Mẫn offered incense and expressed profound gratitude to the late great intellectual and outstanding representative of the people.

He affirmed that Bùi Bằng Đoàn’s life, career and moral integrity stand as a shining example of patriotism, integrity and wholehearted devotion to the homeland and the people, laying an important foundation for the fine traditions of Việt Nam’s NA.

He said that today’s generations of NA deputies are determined to follow Bùi Bằng Đoàn’s noble aspirations by continuously strengthening their political mettle, intellect and public service ethics, contributing to the building of a democratic, law-governed, professional and modern National Assembly worthy of the trust of the Party, the State and the people.

On behalf of the NA Standing Committee, Chairman Mẫn also offered incense in remembrance of late Party General Secretary Trường Chinh and late NA Chairman Lê Quang Đạo.

Talking with the families of the late leaders, he expressed deep appreciation for their tremendous contributions to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the nation.

Trường Chinh was an outstanding leader of the Vietnamese revolution and a preeminent disciple of late President Hồ Chí Minh. In his 81 years of life, including 63 years of continuous revolutionary activities, he served as Party General Secretary three times: in 1941, from 1951 to 1956, and in 1986. Notably, he proposed the Đổi mới (Renewal) policy to the Politburo in July 1986.

As Chairman of the 8th National Assembly (1987–1992), Lê Quang Đạo played a key role in building a legal framework that laid the foundation for the country’s renewal process initiated by the Party at its 6th National Congress.

He noted that the 14th National Party Congress and the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly were successfully held. Inheriting achievements from previous terms, the 15th National Assembly has continued to renew itself to improve the quality and effectiveness of its operations, better meeting practical demands and voters’ expectations.

These efforts have helped make the National Assembly more professional, democratic and law-based, laying a solid foundation for the country to enter a new era of national development, Mẫn stated.
