In May 1959, the General Military Commission and the Ministry of Defence decided to establish a special military task force, later known as Group 559. This group was tasked with opening a supply route to transport goods and organise the movement of soldiers and officials from North to South Vietnam and vice-versa. The route was inaugurated on the birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, and thus was called the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

Building and preserving unity in the Party was always considered by President Ho Chi Minh to be the foremost important mission. Solidarity and unity are not only a matter of life and death for each Party organisation at all levels, but also the life of the entire Party. It is vital to the Vietnamese revolution.

President Ho Chi Minh was an exemplary of a great communist living a benevolent life, an extraordinary hero of the nation who dedicated his whole life to fighting for the sake of the Vietnamese nation and people.
