At Gen. Giap’s residence, Lam expressed profound gratitude to the late General, a former Politburo member, former Secretary of the Central Military Commission, former Minister of National Defence, and Commander-in-Chief of the Vietnam People's Army (VPA).

His life and career were intertwined with Vietnam’s revolution journey and the historical milestones of the Party and the nation, filled with victories, sacrifices, and hardships. For over three decades as Commander-in-Chief of the People's Army and Secretary of the Central Military Commission, Giap’s legacy is closely associated with the great victories in the two resistance wars against French colonialism and US imperialism, as well as the cause of national construction and defence. The Vietnamese Party, State, and people hold his contributions in high esteem, while generations of military officers and soldiers revere Giap as the VPA’s “Elder Brother”.

At the memorial house dedicated to Dung, Lam honoured the former Politburo member, former Chief of Staff of the VPA, former Minister of National Defence, a steadfast communist revolutionary, and an outstanding disciple of President Ho Chi Minh.

A brilliant strategist, Gen. Dung made many contributions to the national liberation struggle and the construction and defence of the Fatherland. During the anti-US resistance war, Dung directly commanded several key campaigns resulting in victories, including the Route 9 – Southern Laos Campaign in 1971, the Central Highlands Campaign in 1975 , and the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign in April 1975, which culminated in the complete liberation of the South and national reunification.
