Also participating in the delegation were Politburo member, Secretary of the Hanoi Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung; members of the Party Central Committee, leaders of the Office of the President, leaders of Hanoi City and Dong Anh District.
President Vo Van Thuong and the delegation respectfully offered incense and flowers to commemorate King An Duong Vuong, who was conferred the title of God by the Le - Nguyen feudal dynasties with respect and admiration as "a great talent in the world" who had the merit of founding the country and ordered the people of Co Loa to forever worship him at Co Loa Temple.
After thousands of years of building and defending the country, Co Loa still preserves and maintains many historical values, traditional culture imbued with national identity. In particular, in the early period of building the country, the land of Co Loa was marked by a heroic history associated with the historical figure Thuc Phan An Duong Vuong, the successor of the Hung King era, who had the merit of founding the Au Lac country. The King moved the capital from Phong Chau (Bach Hac area, Viet Tri, Phu Tho) to Co Loa; built the citadel, fought against the enemy, preserved national sovereignty and developed agricultural production, expanding the country in the 3rd century BC.
The incense offering ceremony in memory of King An Duong Vuong aims to pay tribute to the ancestors who built and defended the country, and at the same time, educate the younger generation and all classes of people in society about the traditional morality of remembering the source of water, promoting historical values in the cause of innovation and national construction.
