Devoting all his life to the Vietnam Revolution and the movement of international workers and communists, comrade Ton Duc Thang honorably received the Gold Star Medal – the highest possible award in the country, the Lenin Medal of the Soviet Union, Soukhe-Bator Medal from Mongolia and many other noble awards.
After a period of serious illness, old age and weakness eventually determined his fate and he passed away on March 30, 1980 in Hanoi and was buried in Mai Dich cemetery./.
