President Truong Tan Sang was in attendance on Saturday when a temple was dedicated to the late Party General Secretary Le Duan in Cam Xuyen district of central Ha Tinh Province.
Le Duan was a founding member of the Indochinese Communist Party in 1930 and later became Party General Secretary in 1976, a position he retained until his death 10 years later. Le Duan was born into a patriotic family on April 7, 1908 in Bich La village, Trieu Dong commune, Trieu Phong district of central Quang Tri province, though his home village is in Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh province.
