HÀ NỘI — Party General Secretary Nguyễn Phú Trọng’s great contributions to the Party and the nation have left deep impressions on Party members and people nationwide, who have special sentiments for the late leader.
Phạm Đại Dương, Secretary of the Party Committee and head of the delegation of National Assembly deputies of the central province of Phú Yên, said upon hearing the news of the Party chief’s passing, officials, Party members and residents in the province expressed their boundless grief.
The Party leader set a bright example of simplicity, approachability, and modesty, Dương said, calling him a great personality of the nation, who has been loved and respected by not only people at home but also international friends.
His direction on Party and political system building, socio-economic development, national defence and security, and new-style rural area building during a visit to Phú Yên have been materialised over the past years, with significant achievements reaped, Dương said.
The leader’s guiding principles, and theoretical and practical lessons will continue to be widely spread among local officials, Party members and people, he pledged, emphasising their absolute confidence in the Party leadership and the State governance, as well as their solidarity, unity and consensus in realising targets set at the 13th National Party Congress and the 17th provincial Party Congress.
Nguyễn Thị Diệu, a kindergarten teacher in the mountainous district of Sông Hinh, Phú Yên Province, who had a chance to meet the Party chief in Hà Nội last year as a role model in studying and following President Hồ Chí Minh’s example, expressed her deep respect for General Secretary Trọng, saying he was a very approachable leader.
For Triệu Đức Thanh, former Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee and former Chairman of the People’s Committee of northern Hà Giang Province, the General Secretary was a staunch, capable, knowledgeable and respectable communist.
“I myself and officials and people in Hà Giang always have absolute trust in the Party leadership, and stay united to successfully complete the targets set at the 13th National Party Congress,” he said, highlighting the Party chief’s anti-graft crackdown, with zero tolerance on corruption.

Hạng Mí De, former head of the provincial Party Committee’s Information and Education Board, said in any circumstances, the General Secretary always skillfully handled domestic and foreign affairs, contributing to the Party's strength, the country's development, and a prosperous and happy life for all people.
Dương Thị Phương, a resident in residential area No 5, Trần Phú Ward, Hà Giang City, showed her grief at the Party leader’s death, and her belief that the country will grow firmly and strongly under the Party leadership.
Mai Văn Trí, a Party member in Thuận Lộc Ward in the central city of Huế, said General Secretary Trọng was an eminent son of the nation, noting he and the Party Central Committee, the Politburo and the Secretariat had rolled out various guidelines to help Việt Nam overcome difficulties and steadily move forward.
What the leader did contributed to consolidating the Party’s position, and won the absolute trust of officials, Party members and people nationwide, he affirmed.
