The delegation respectfully offered incense and flowers to commemorate comrade Nguyen Duc Canh - the outstanding leader of the workers' movement and martyr Ho Ngoc Lan - a loyal party member of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Comrade Nguyen Duc Canh is the first Editor-in-Chief of Lao Dong Newspaper - the mouthpiece of the Vietnam Trade Union organization.
On July 28, 1929, at house number 15 Hang Non street, Hanoi, which was then Thuan My Tao medicine shop, an important conference took place, which later became a historical event: the Conference on the establishment of the Red General Confederation of Tonkin. 7 delegates attended the conference chaired by comrade Nguyen Duc Canh. The conference elected comrade Nguyen Duc Canh as interim Chairman, deciding to publish a newspaper named Lao Dong Newspaper.
After the conference on July 28, Comrade Nguyen Duc Canh immediately started preparing to launch Lao Dong Newspaper. The newspaper location was a small house in Thong Phong alley at the beginning of Hang Bot street, today Ton Duc Thang street.
In difficult and deprived circumstances, Lao Dong Newspaper - the mouthpiece of the Bac Ky Red General Confederation was urgently prepared and promptly released its first issue on August 14, 1929, with comrade Nguyen Duc Canh as Editor-in-Chief. Since then, each issue of Lao Dong Newspaper has been welcomed by all classes of readers.
Over 97 years of formation and development, Lao Dong Newspaper has always maintained its position as the No. 1 newspaper in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers.
