In a solemn atmosphere, the leaders of the Party and the State paid tribute to the nation’s outstanding sons and daughters who fearlessly fought and sacrificed their lives for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland, and for the happiness of the people.
On September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square in Ha Noi, President Ho Chi Minh solemnly read the Declaration of Independence, officially proclaiming the birth of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam.
In front of tens of thousands of citizens, he affirmed Viet Nam’s right to freedom and independence, marking a historic turning point after decades of colonial rule. This moment not only laid the foundation for modern Viet Nam but also inspired independence movements across Southeast Asia.
On August 31, General Secretary To Lam offered incense in commemoration of President Ho Chi Minh at House No. 48 relic on Hang Ngang street in Ha Noi where leader Ho Chi Minh penned the Declaration of Independence in late August 1945.
General Secretary To Lam and other senior officials solemnly paid tribute to President Ho Chi Minh — the brilliant leader of the Communist Party and the Vietnamese people, a revered teacher of the revolution, a national liberation hero, and a world cultural icon who devoted his entire life to the revolutionary cause of Viet Nam.
During their visit, the delegation toured the historic house where President Ho Chi Minh drafted the Declaration of Independence in late August 1945. They were briefed on preserved artifacts and the historical significance of the site.
Writing in the guestbook, Party leader To Lam expressed profound emotion toward the house where President Ho Chi Minh penned the Declaration of Independence, proclaiming the founding of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam — now the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam — in 1945.
“In this modest room, by the light of a small lamp, President Ho Chi Minh poured his intellect, dedication, and unwavering belief in the nation's future into writing the immortal words that affirmed before the world the sacred right to independence and freedom of the Vietnamese people,” he wrote.
He affirmed that the entire Party, army, and people remain committed to preserving and advancing the achievements of the Revolution, working together to build a prosperous and strong Viet Nam — a country that stands proudly alongside friends across the globe, as President Ho Chi Minh envisioned.
Viet Nam is set to hold a grand celebration at Ba Dinh Square in Ha Noi on September 2 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day./.
