Addressing the ceremony, member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Ha Tinh Provincial Party Committee Hoang Trung Dung recalled the life and career of comrade Tran Phu and his great contributions to the Party and people of Vietnam.
Although his revolutionary life was short, Tran Phu fulfilled and left numerous works to the Vietnamese Party and people, he noted, adding that the political thesis drafted by Tran Phu outlined the path for the Vietnamese revolution to today’s victory, which is an extremely precious legacy.
During his revolutionary life, Tran Phu always upheld the quality of revolutionary morality and infinite loyalty to the revolutionary cause of the Party, which, in turn, encouraged the revolutionary generations to overcome all difficulties to contribute to Vietnam’s revolutionary cause.
Tran Phu was born on May 1, 1904, in Tuy An District, Phu Yen Province, and his hometown was Tung Anh Commune, Duc Tho District, Ha Tinh Province.
He was elected as the first General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam in 1930 when he was 26 years old. He made the first draft of the Party political thesis in 1930. He was arrested on April 18, 1931, and died on September 6 of the same year.
