At Gen. Giap’s residence, Mr. Lam expressed profound gratitude to the late General, a former Politburo member, former Secretary of the Central Military Commission, former Minister of National Defence, and Commander-in-Chief of the Vietnam People's Army (VPA). For over three decades as Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army and Secretary of the Central Military Commission, Giap’s legacy is closely associated with the great victories in Vietnam’s two resistance wars, as well as national construction and defence.

At the memorial house dedicated to General Van Tien Dung, Mr. Lam honoured the former Politburo member, former Chief of Staff of the VPA, former Minister of National Defence, a steadfast communist revolutionary, and an outstanding disciple of President Ho Chi Minh. During the anti-US resistance war, Gen. Dung directly commanded several key campaigns resulting in victories, including the Route 9-Southern Laos Campaign in 1971, the Central Highlands Campaign in 1975 , and the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign in April 1975, which culminated in the complete liberation of the South and national reunification.
