(VOVWORLD) - Ho Chi Minh was the first Vietnamese supporter of the Russian October Revolution and found Marxism-Leninism the way to liberate the working class and peoples of colonial countries. In 1920, he took part in establishing the French Communist Party at the Tour Congress. Since then, the founder of the Communist Party of Vietnam with his great contributions and dedication, has won the special admiration of many international friends.
During his revolutionary life, Ho Chi Minh traveled to many parts of the world, but China is probably the place he visited the most. In 1925, he founded the Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth Association in Guangzhou and organized a “Communist League” as the core of the association, training communist cadres to lead the Association and popularize Marxism-Leninism in Vietnam.
“Before founding the Vietnam Communist Party, Ho Chi Minh founded the Vietnamese Revolutionary Youth Association in China. This was an organization to spread progressive thought and the spirit of national liberation and independence to young people in Vietnam. The role of Ho Chi Minh in this process can be summed up as follows: true organizer, ruler, founder, and supreme leader,” said Mr. Truong Duc Duy, who served as an interpreter for President Ho Chi Minh and is a former Ambassador of China to Vietnam.
Mr. Duy said that President Ho Chi Minh's simple lifestyle and frugal spirit won the admiration of many international friends and Chinese people.
“President Ho Chi Minh was a revolutionary leader with a flawless character. He was a revolutionary with a strong will, extremely strong beliefs, and a vision. He had a clear analysis and extensive calculations of the revolutionary struggle in Vietnam, as well as the international struggle for righteousness, and provided precise and disciplined guidelines, strategies, tactics, and policies,” he elaborated.
Many international friends have praised the role of the Communist Party of Vietnam under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh. Professor Doctor of History Vladimir Kolotov, Director of the Ho Chi Minh Research Institute, National University of St. Petersburg (Russia), said that during the past 90 years, the Communist Party of Vietnam with the legacy of President Ho Chi Minh's thought has shown flexibility and ingenuity in leading Vietnam to great achievements and finding an effective international integration path in a complicated world. General Secretary of the Egyptian Communist Party Salah Adly Abdelhafiz called the Vietnamese Communist Party a potent symbol. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh, the Vietnamese people have found a prosperous and happy life.
