Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, who led the Government delegation, wrote in the condolence book that during his career spanning more than 40 years, President Tran Dai Quang was always a wholehearted and responsible official who made every effort to overcome difficulties and hardships to excellently fulfil all tasks entrusted to him by the Party, State and people.

"He made great contributions to the national renewal, construction and defence,” he stressed.

Meanwhile, National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan, who led the delegation of the NA, wrote that President Tran Dai Quang’s devotion to the building and safeguarding of the country, Party and State and his heart toward the people will be forever remembered by his comrades and people nationwide.
