Tien Giang is a cultural land - rich in patriotic and revolutionary traditions, a place where many patriotic scholars such as Mr. Pho Bang Nguyen Sinh Sac - the father of Uncle Ho; Mr. Phan Boi Chau, Mr. Phan Chau Trinh; Comrade Ton Duc Thang, Comrade Pham Hung came to live and participate in revolutionary activities...
Tien Giang is the place where the Rach Gam - Xoai Mut Victory took place in 1785, defeating 50,000 invaders. During the resistance war against French colonialism and American imperialism, the people of Tien Giang are always proud of many heroic historical battles such as Co Co, Giong Dua, Kinh Bui, Ap Bac, Ba Rai, and Binh Duc Belt; especially the cradle of the Southern uprising - at Dinh Long Hung, where the first red flag with a yellow star appeared (November 23, 1940), this is a shining symbol of the indomitable will and spirit of the people of the whole country in general and the people of My Tho (Tien Giang) in particular, who refused to lose their country and become slaves; the land that gave birth to many heroes of the People's Armed Forces, the Party's outstanding children, including comrade Nguyen Thi Thap.
Comrade Nguyen Thi Thap - an outstanding daughter of Tien Giang and the Southern region, a staunch revolutionary soldier, a heroic Vietnamese mother who devoted her entire life to the revolutionary cause, is a typical example of a steadfast and indomitable mother and wife; her husband and two sons all sacrificed for the cause of national liberation and defense of the Fatherland; this image has further enhanced the glorious tradition of Vietnamese women; becoming a source of pride, a great source of motivation, an example for generations of cadres, members, and women to study, strive to compete and contribute, contributing to building the homeland and country more and more prosperous...
With her special contributions, comrade Nguyen Thi Thap was honored to receive the 60-year Party membership badge from the Party and was the first woman to receive the noble Medal - the Gold Star Medal from the State in 1985.
To commemorate the great contributions of Vietnamese Heroic Mother Nguyen Thi Thap, on the occasion of the 115th anniversary of her birth, Tien Giang Provincial Party Committee coordinated with the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union to organize a scientific seminar to honor and recognize the great contributions of comrade Nguyen Thi Thap to her homeland and country; a comrade, an outstanding leader of the Party, an outstanding leader of the women's movement; at the same time, educating the tradition of patriotism, building the image of a "new era" woman integrating and developing for generations of women to learn and follow...
We hope that the speeches and scientific reports at today's conference will contribute to affirming the great, extremely valuable, historical contributions, the imprints of the portrait of an excellent leader of the Association in the cause of women's liberation in general and the "3 responsibilities" women's movement in particular; the portrait of the people's representative, the first loyal communist soldier of the South to be awarded the Gold Star Medal. The portrait of a heroic Vietnamese mother who is noble, talented, virtuous but extremely simple... All these images contribute to fostering and cultivating national pride, solidarity, and are valuable assets for our generations to learn, follow, have more motivation, faith, constantly strive to rise up, promote intelligence, talent, creativity, and join hands to successfully carry out the political tasks of the province.
This is also an opportunity for delegates to learn more about the land and people of Tien Giang in history and at present; the people of Tien Giang are always united, hard-working, creative, loyal and hospitable. I believe that, with the participation and active contributions of the leaders, former leaders of the Party and State; veteran revolutionaries; leaders of central departments, ministries and branches, scientists, distinguished guests, delegates from other provinces and cities and comrades, today's scientific conference will be a great success, with a profound influence in the province and the whole country.

On behalf of the Party Committee and people of Tien Giang province, we would like to thank the attention and close coordination of the Central Committee of the Vietnam Women's Union; the departments, ministries, branches, and central agencies; the enthusiastic, dedicated, and responsible participation of scientists, distinguished guests, and delegates, which is a great source of encouragement and motivation for the Party Committee, government, and people of Tien Giang to successfully implement the Resolution of the 11th Provincial Party Congress, contributing to the successful implementation of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress; building Tien Giang homeland to steadily move forward in innovation, integration, and sustainable development in the Mekong Delta region.
