In the past few days, millions of Vietnamese people and international friends turned their attention to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dong Hoi, where the National Funeral for General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong was held. Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country braved long distances and inclement weather to respectfully line the route and bid farewell to the General Secretary on his last journey. We have received condolences from hundreds of leaders of countries and territories, and hundreds of international delegations attended the funeral and burial ceremonies. Thousands of delegations comprising hundreds of thousands of people came to pay their respects to the General Secretary, and thousands more paid their respects at our representative agencies abroad.
