A seminar on the life and career of late Venezuelan Commander-in-Chief Hugo Chavez Frias was held in Hanoi on July 28 on the occasion of his 61 st birth anniversary.
Venezuelan Ambassador Jorge Rondon Uzcategui reminisced about the life and political career of Hugo Chavez, who founded the Revolutionary Bolivarian Movement in his youth in the early 1980s and became President of Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013.
In his speech, Associate Professor Nguyen An Ninh from the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Public Administration, said Hugo Chavez himself initiated and materialised a new socialism model of the 21 st century, an administration of the people and a new internationalism in Latin America.
Chavez appeared in public as a statesman, a political leader, a soldier ready to fight for the nation and one of the greatest thinkers of all time, he said.
The seminar closed with the screening of a 40-minute documentary “Hugo-my friend” by well-known American director Oliver Stone.
The film portrays the simple life of the Venezuelan leader through narratives of his close associates.
The seminar was co-hosted by the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organisations and the Venezuelan Embassy in Hanoi, attracting representatives from the Party Central Committee’s Commission for External Relations, the Foreign Ministry and students from Hanoi University.-VNA
