VTV.vn - Forty-two organisations and six individuals with outstanding works on studying and following late President Ho Chi Minh’s thought, morality and lifestyle in the 2018-20 period were honoured in a ceremony held in Hanoi on May 13.

The award ceremony is held biennially to honour writers, composers, journalists and people from all walks of life who have expressed their gratitude and sentiments for the late President through their brainchildren.
