VINACONEX CORPORATION’S “BACK TO THE ROOTS” JOURNEY

In celebration of the successful 6th Party Congress of VINACONEX Corporation for the 2025–2030 term, and in commemoration of the 78th War Invalids and Martyrs Day (July 27, 1947 – July 27, 2025), the VINACONEX Trade Union organized a “Back to the Roots” journey to the special national historical site of Con Dao on July 11–12, 2025.

The program had the attendance of members of the Corporation’s Party Executive Committees from both the 5th and 6th terms, the Trade Union’s Standing Committee and the Youth Unio’s Secretary of VINACONEX.

In Con Dao, the delegation offered incense and paid tribute at Nui Mot Pagoda (Van Son Tu) and visited the An Son Shrine dedicated to Lady Hoang Phi Yen. These are sacred sites of great cultural and historical significance. Notably, the An Son Shrine was restored and renovated with funding from VINACONEX Corporation prior to 2018, reflecting the corporation’s commitment to preserving national heritage.

Continuing the journey, the delegation visited the Con Dao Museum, which houses precious artifacts and documents chronicling Vietnam’s resistance against colonial and imperial powers. The museum preserves haunting evidence of the notorious prison system, where tens of thousands of revolutionary soldiers were imprisoned and brutally tortured.

In a solemn and emotional atmosphere, the delegation paid tribute at Hang Duong Cemetery, the final resting place of thousands of resilient revolutionaries. They offered incense at the gravesite of former General Secretary of the Communist Party Le Hong Phong, a distinguished revolutionary leader, as well as presented flowers in memory of national heroine Vo Thi Sau, the young woman sacrificed her youth and life for the homeland. 

Though brief, the journey left a lasting, sacred impression on every participant. It served not only as a heartfelt tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed for national independence and freedom, but also as a powerful spiritual source, rekindling national pride and inspiring the entire VINACONEX workforce to continue striving with innovation and dedication, contributing to a more prosperous and powerful Vietnam.
