On the morning of January 19, ahead of the opening of the preparatory session of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Party and State leaders, along with delegates attending the congress, paid floral tribute to President Ho Chi Minh.
The delegation included Politburo members: Party General Secretary To Lam, State President Luong Cuong, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man, Standing Member of the Party Central Committee’s Secretariat Tran Cam Tu, and Secretary of the Party Central Committee and President of the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) Central Committee Bui Thi Minh Hoai.
They expressed profound respect and remembrance for the immense contributions of President Ho Chi Minh, a genius leader and hero of national liberation, who founded and nurtured the CPV—the vanguard of the working class, the working people, and the Vietnamese nation.
The delegation then laid a wreath and offered incense at the Martyrs' Monument on Bac Son Street.
With the motto "Solidarity—Democracy—Discipline—Breakthrough—Development," the 14th National Party Congress is taking place at the National Convention Center in Hanoi from January 19 to 25, 2026, with the participation of 1,586 delegates representing over 5.6 million Party members nationwide.
