In his speech, former Party General Secretary Lê Khả Phiêu said following the path President Hồ Chí Minh had selected, his thoughts as well as Marxism-Leninism must be the Party’s lodestar.

Meanwhile, PM Dũng attributed the great and historic achievements attained by the Việt Nam Communist Party during its 80 year history to revolutionary heroism guided by President Hồ Chí Minh’s thoughts.

The Government chief pointed out the urgent task for the entire political system, people and army that is to devote efforts to contain inflation, stabilize the macro-economy, maintain production, ensure social welfare, and realize the socio-economic development plan for 2011.

In his speech, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Lê Thanh Hải affirmed that HCMC will strive to build a strong city in all aspects, deserving the name of President Hồ Chí Minh it inherited.

All the participants agreed that the date of June 5, 1911 marked a significant milestone in the country’s history and expressed their strong belief that the path President Hồ Chí Minh had chosen will help lead the Vietnamese people to all-around renovation, industrialization and modernization.
