In his opening address at the international seminar on “Building Ho Chi Minh spaces at Vietnam's diplomatic missions abroad” which connected more than 90 Vietnamese agencies overseas, the Deputy FM said this is not only a venue for exhibition but should be an intersection of memory, education and international exchange.
The seminar focused discussion on ways to honor President Ho Chi Minh through intangible arts, such as literature, music, cinema, theater, academic exchanges and multimedia.
A UNESCO representative in Hanoi highlighted the similarities between Ho Chi Minh's ideology on lifelong learning and the orientation of global sustainable education. The other topic is international experience and practice at Vietnamese representative agencies abroad.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ho Chi Minh Space will be built as a model at Vietnamese representative agencies abroad, harmoniously incorporating historical values, national cultural identity and modern diplomatic approaches.
On the sidelines of the seminar, the organizers displayed photos, documents and a thematic bookcase about the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh.
