Vietnam held an emotional memorial for president Tran Dai Quang in Hanoi Thursday before his body was carried through the city with weeping residents and police lining the streets to bid him a final farewell. A long-serving communist stalwart and former national police chief, Quang was celebrated for his dedication to the country that he spent much of his career serving. "The leader with many contributions to the country bid farewell to us... a great loss for the family and the nation," Communist Party chief Nguyen Phu Trong said at a ceremony Thursday.
