He offered incense to commemorate more than 20,000 heroic martyrs who laid down their lives in the 81-day battle for Quang Tri ancient citadel in 1972.

During a working session with key provincial leaders, Mr Manh asked Quang Tri to pay due attention to the care of war invalids, families of martyrs and social policy beneficiaries, particularly during the upcoming lunar New Year Festival (Tet).

He emphasised measures to remove difficulties, including policies for assisting poor people, workers and small-and-medium-sized enterprises.

The Party leader extended Tet greetings to all Party members, officials, armed forces and ethnic groups in Quang Tri. He also made an incense offering at the monument of the late Party General Secretary Le Duan in Trieu Thanh commune, Trieu Phong district.
