CAO BẰNG – President Tô Lâm on June 10 offered incense in tribute to President Hồ Chí Minh at a temple located at the Pắc Bó special national relic site in Trường Hà Commune, Hà Quảng District, as part of his working trip to the northern mountainous province of Cao Bằng.

The President and his entourage expressed their gratitude to the late leader, who devoted his entire life to the struggle for national liberation and reunification, along with freedom and happiness of the Vietnamese people.

Writing in the temple's guest book, Lâm said the site plays an important role in educating younger generations about the revolutionary tradition and President Hồ Chí Minh’s moral example.

He asked the provincial Party organisation, authorities and residents in Cao Bằng to continue preserving the site and promoting its values.

Pắc Bó was the first place where Nguyễn Ái Quốc, who later used the name Hồ Chí Minh, set foot in when returning to Việt Nam in 1941 to lead the domestic revolution after spending over 30 years abroad to seek ways for national salvation. It is home to many historical relic sites like Cốc Bó Cave, Border Marker 108, Khuổi Nậm Hut, and Lenin Spring, which were associated with his revolutionary activities during that time.

While in Hà Quảng, President Lâm also attended the inauguration ceremony of the Pắc Bó Kindergarten in Trường Hà Commune.

Speaking at the ceremony, he asked local authorities to pay more attention to improving the life quality of locals, especially those who have rendered service to the nation and disadvantaged families, ensuring that no one is left behind.

The leader also stressed the crucial task of improving education-training quality, particularly preschool education.

On this occasion, he visited and presented gifts to two revolution contributors in the locality. VNS
