In 1952, when Vietnam was still in a resistance war against the French colonialists, he was appointed the country’s first ambassador to the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. In this position, he worked hard to help leaders of the Soviet Union’s Party, State, and people to better understand and support the resistance war and create conditions for enhancing solidarity between the two Parties, States, and peoples.
Addressing the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Dang Minh Khoi emphasised his predecessor’s example of practicing thrift, paving the way for diplomatic activities in the Soviet Union, making self-improvement, and training the first diplomats of Vietnam here.
The activities in those early days laid a firm foundation for the sound diplomatic ties between Vietnam and the Soviet Union, now between Vietnam and Russia, he added.
Khoi asked all the staff members of the embassy, diplomats, along with press, trade, military, and security representatives of Vietnam in Russia to follow the late leader’s example to continue reforming, building, and developing the modern and comprehensively strong diplomacy of Vietnam that is deeply imbued with the characteristics of Vietnamese bamboo./.
