The delegation, led by Standing Deputy Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission Le Van Minh, attended the ceremony to mark the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs' Day (July 27, 1947 – July 27, 2026).
Also joining the delegation were Deputy Head of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission Dinh Thi Thanh Thuy and People’s Artist Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Culture and Sports.
Delegates paid their respects and offered incense at the memorials dedicated to General Secretary Tran Phu, martyrs Le Thi Rieng, and Tran Van Kieu. They also visited the memorial hall housing the remains of martyrs, the martyrs' honor wall, and the historical excavation site within the park.
Overcome with emotion while offering incense to honor the fallen soldiers, many artists could not hold back their tears.
Meritorious Artist Ca Le Hong shared that looking at the remains solemnly preserved inside the memorial hall reminded her of her younger brother, the renowned poet-martyr Ca Le Hien (pen name Le Anh Xuan), and her older brother who died in combat and whose remains have yet to be found.
She expressed her hope that the ongoing 500-day intensive campaign to search, gather, and identify fallen soldiers' remains would continue to bring closure to families across the country.
