Hanoi (VNA) - The Vietnamese Embassy in Greece hosted a special film screening commemorating the 135th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh on May 19.

The event drew notable attendees including head of the Communist Party of Greece’s commission for foreign affairs Seretakis Nikos, the Cuban Ambassador to Greece, and numerous close friends of Vietnam.

Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Thi Thu Huong stressed that together with the recent release of a Greek-language biography of President Ho Chi Minh, the film screening honours the genius leader of Vietnam’s revolution, a national liberation hero, a world cultural icon, and a close friend of all peoples who have fought for peace, national independence, democracy, and social progress across the globe.

Seretakis Nikos, for his part, said President Ho Chi Minh illuminated not only the Vietnamese revolution but also the international communist movement, highlighting the hero’s leadership in Vietnam's successful struggle for national liberation.

UNESCO recognised him as a global cultural figure, not least for his literary contributions. His renowned work, “Nhat ky trong tu” (dairy in prison), contains over 100 poems, several of them were later set to music by German composer Hans Werner Henze.

The evening took an emotional turn when Greek attendees gave presentations on Vietnam's noble history under President Ho Chi Minh's guidance. Many recited his poems that reveal both his revolutionary spirit and profound humanism./.
