The late President Ho Chi Minh and his revolutionary life have been celebrated in the German daily newspaper Neues Deutschland (New Germany).
Hellmut Kapfenberger began his article by asking the question “Who was the person whose name was espoused in 1968, calling for support from Germany to help end the war against the US aggressors in the Indochina peninsula?”
He also quoted assessments and remarks made by famous politicians and scholars about President Ho Chi Minh, who was seen as a hero of national liberation and a great man of culture by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
Ho Chi Minh was a extraordinary person, wrote Kapfenberger, adding that he not only was an expert of history, culture and the arts but also spoke many languages.
Four decades have passed since President Ho Chi Minh died on Sept. 2, 1969, but 2010 will be an opportunity to remember and honour him, as an international symposium will be held in Hanoi to mark his 120 th birthday.
The article entitled “A revolutionary leader” was released on Sept. 5 to commemorate the 40 th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh’s death.
Hellmut Kapfenberger, who used to be a correspondent for the General German News Service (ADN), wrote a book on President Ho Chi Minh on the anniversary of his 119 th birthday./.
