Secretary of the Nam Dinh provincial Party Committee Doan Hong Phong delivered a speech highlighting the revolutionary career of the late Party leader, who is known as the Party General Secretary of Doi Moi (Renewal). Truong Chinh served as Party General Secretary three tenures and as a Politburo member for more than 20 years.
Mr. Phong said: “Truong Chinh laid the foundation for the national renewal. By changing the mindset on economics, he created a turning point in the Party’s ideology and creative application of Marxism-Leninism in Vietnam’s situation. The 6^th National Party Congress has been called the Reform Congress, a landmark in Vietnam’s revolution. Achievements of the renewal in the past 30 years have affirmed the correctness of Party General Secretary Truong Chinh’s initiative.”
