During their journey of gratitude in Quảng Trị Province, the delegation laid wreaths and offered incense at the Trường Sơn National Martyrs' Cemetery and the Road 9 National Martyrs' Cemetery.
The Trường Sơn National Martyrs' Cemetery in Gio Linh District is the resting place of over 10,000 martyrs, while the Road 9 National Martyrs' Cemetery in Đông Hà City is the resting place of nearly 11,000 martyrs. Both cemeteries are the final resting places for heroic martyrs from across the country who bravely sacrificed their lives during the resistance against the US for national salvation.
At these cemeteries, the delegation offered incense at the Memorial for Heroic Martyrs and at the gravesites of martyrs from Điện Biên and Lai Châu provinces. On behalf of the Party Committee, authorities and people of Điện Biên Province, the delegation expressed immense gratitude for the tremendous contributions of previous generations who dedicated their youth and sacrificed their lives for the nation's independence, freedom, and the people's happiness.
In front of the heroic martyrs' spirits, Deputy Chairman Bằng pledged to continue promoting the revolutionary tradition, strengthening the great unity bloc, promoting democracy, and boosting labuor and production movements, determined to build an increasingly developed and modern Điện Biên homeland.
