At the ceremony, Ambassador Nguyen Quoc Dung said President Ho Chi Minh is the great leader of the Vietnamese nation and a shining example of patriotism, revolutionary spirit, morality, lifestyle, and working methods.
He said Ho Chi Minh’s ideology continues to serve as a guiding principle for Vietnam, providing direction for the Party and people in advancing toward socialism and building a prosperous, strong, democratic, equitable, and civilized nation.
The Ambassador said President Ho Chi Minh’s legacy has become a solid foundation for Vietnam’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, peace and friendship, as well as its approach of seeking cooperative relations with all countries on the basis of mutual respect and mutual benefit.
He added that President Ho Chi Minh laid the foundation for Vietnam-US relations in the 20th century, which have since developed into a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
