On June 11, 1948, President Ho Chi Minh issued the Call for Patriotic Emulation, aiming to eliminate hunger, illiteracy, and foreign invaders by harnessing the strength and spirit of the people to bring happiness to the nation. After 76 years, the call remains as relevant today as it was then.

A grand meeting was held in Hanoi on June 3 to mark the 70th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s call for patriotic emulation on June 11, 1948.
