On Monday morning, a celebration for the 125^th birth anniversary of late President Ho Chi Minh (19 May) took place in Da Nang.

At the event, 20 local Party members from the city’s government agencies were awarded 65-year, 40-year and 30-year Party membership badges.  The recipients were those who were actively involved in Viet Nam’s resistance wars against invaders and the protection of the nation.  Despite all the hardships and difficulties, they have always demonstrated their unyielding spirit to struggle for national independence and set a shining example for younger generations to follow.

The Secretary of the Party Committee of Da Nang’s government agencies, Mr Huynh Van Hoa, hoped that the recipients would continue their efforts to make significant contributions to the city’s progress in the years ahead.
