Rewritten Article:

HCM CITY - PM Phạm Minh Chính paid a heartfelt visit to honor the legacies of two influential figures in Vietnam's history, late Prime Minister Phạm Hùng and former Prime Minister Võ Văn Kiệt, in HCM City. This trip was made on the 50th anniversary of the country's liberation and national reunification (April 30, 1975 - 2025).

First, PM Chính offered incense to remember Phạm Hùng, a remarkable Vietnamese revolutionary hero from the South who served as the secretary of the central office for the southern region from 1967 to 1975. During this time, he led resistance efforts against the US troops and, following the liberation of the South, was entrusted with overseeing the Party's and Government's responsibilities in the region.

Next, PM Chính paid tribute to Prime Minister Võ Văn Kiệt, who was renowned for his democratic, pragmatic, bold, and accountable leadership style. Kiệt played a crucial role in the country's đổi mới (Renewal), international integration, and national development processes. A committed revolutionary from his early days, Kiệt contributed significantly to the Southern liberation movement and national reunification.

While there might be confusion regarding Phạm Hung, comprehensive online sources only mention individuals with different names (e.g., Hung Pham, Pham Hung Tam, Hiep-Hung Pham). Further examination is needed to confirm the exact individual being referenced or whether there's a discrepancy in the name's spelling or context.
