Vung Ro Wharf is associated with the strategic transport route - "Ho Chi Minh Trail at sea", together with "Truong Son Road - Ho Chi Minh Trail" has become a symbol of glory of the whole nation, the embodiment of the will and aspiration to fight against foreign invaders to unify the country.
From Vung Ro wharf, secret trails wound through ravines and steep passes, with thousands of youth volunteers and laborers day and night transporting weapons and goods to the rear base and spreading to all provinces of the South Central battlefield. Thanks to that, the fighting strength of the army and people of the three provinces of Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, and Dak Lak was raised, achieving many resounding victories, contributing to the complete bankruptcy of the US-puppet "Special War" strategy on the battlefield of Zone 5.
From November 1964 to February 1965, Vung Ro wharf received 4 unnumbered ships, providing nearly 200 tons of weapons to the provinces of Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, and Dak Lak. Thanks to that, the fighting strength of our army and people was raised, achieving many resounding victories, contributing to the liberation of the South and the unification of the country.
At the Commemoration Ceremony, in his speech, Secretary of Phu Yen Provincial Party Committee Pham Dai Duong emphasized: We are forever proud of Vung Ro Wharf, which is closely connected to the "Ho Chi Minh Trail at Sea" - a strategic sea route named after the great President Ho Chi Minh. 60 years have passed, the event of the Ship No Number bringing hundreds of tons of goods and weapons from the Socialist Northern rear to Vung Ro Wharf is still mentioned as a miracle of intelligence and creativity, a glorious page in the history of the army and people of Phu Yen and of the whole nation.
According to the Secretary of Phu Yen Provincial Party Committee, coming to Vung Ro today, we not only see the image of the heroic Vung Ro wharf in combat, but also a destination for cultural and historical tourism. Vung Ro and the surrounding area are promoting investment to become a bustling seaport area, a gateway to the East Sea, promoting the socio-economic development of Phu Yen province and the South Central region; creating a premise for Phu Yen and the whole country to continue to grow stronger in terms of the sea, get rich from the sea, contributing to constantly consolidating and strengthening the national defense posture associated with the people's security posture in the area increasingly firmly.
Over the past 60 years, since the day Vung Ro Wharf received the first shipment from the Ship Without Number, nearly 40 years since our Party led the renovation process, our country has achieved many great and historic achievements in the cause of building and defending the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland. The 13th National Party Congress stated: “The scale and level of the economy have been raised. The people’s material and spiritual lives have been significantly improved. Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as it does today.”
After 35 years of re-establishment, Phu Yen has gone from a province with many difficulties and a low economic growth rate after re-establishment... to now, the economic growth rate of the province through each period has always been maintained at a fairly good level and the economic structure has shifted in the right direction.
Phu Yen has gathered many factors to be ready to break through, realizing the aspiration of rapid and sustainable development of the province, as the Phu Yen Provincial Planning for the period 2021 - 2030, with a vision to 2050 has determined: By 2030, Phu Yen will become a province developing in a modern and sustainable direction. And by 2050, Phu Yen will become a province with a diverse and prosperous economy. As a marine economic center of the Central Coast region; with a smart, green, sustainable urban system with a unique identity.
Speaking at the ceremony, Head of the Central Propaganda Department Nguyen Trong Nghia hoped that Phu Yen province would continue to promote its extraordinary will, determination, solidarity, and steadfast revolutionary tradition in the cause of national liberation and unification. Mobilize the combined strength of the entire political system, especially the strength of the people, make the most of opportunities and advantages, effectively and creatively exploit endogenous resources and existing potentials to build and develop Phu Yen faster and stronger.
Along with that, Phu Yen needs to improve the effectiveness of propaganda work, educating revolutionary historical traditions for cadres, party members, and people so that each person loves the country, the sea, and the islands more; promote the historical significance of the event, of the Ship Without Number, of the Ho Chi Minh Trail at sea to promote the historical and cultural image of the country to friends and tourists at home and abroad.
The Head of the Central Propaganda Department believes that, with the glorious historical tradition of the Party Committee, the Government, the army and people of Phu Yen will continue to be united, dynamic, creative, determined to make breakthroughs, and complete the goals set out in the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term; well prepare the conditions to successfully organize the Party Congresses at all levels for the 2025-2030 term, towards the 14th National Congress of the Party.
At the same time, it creates a solid foundation for the whole country to enter a new era, an era of the Vietnamese people's rise, for the goal of "peace, unity, independence, rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, civilization, happiness", firmly advancing towards Socialism.
