Pyongyang (VNA) – General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee To Lam and a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation attended the inauguration ceremony of the statue of President Ho Chi Minh at the premises of the Vietnamese Embassy in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on October 10 (local time).

The event took place as part of the Vietnamese leader’s state visit and attendance at the ceremony marking the 80th founding anniversary of the Workers’ Party of Korea (WPK).

In his opening remarks, Vietnamese Ambassador to the DPRK Le Ba Vinh stressed that President Ho Chi Minh is the beloved leader of the Vietnamese people, a national liberation hero, a great man of culture, and a close friend of the DPRK people. He noted that the installation of the statue within the embassy's ground is not only a source of pride and joy for the Vietnamese people but also for the local people, who extended strong support and facilitation throughout the construction process.

The ambassador recalled that Vietnam and the DPRK established diplomatic relations 75 years ago, on January 31, 1950, with their traditional friendship personally founded by President Ho Chi Minh and President Kim Il Sung. Since then, the two Parties, States, and people of Vietnam and the DPRK have continuously nurtured and strengthened their long-standing friendship and cooperation, marked by mutual support and solidarity in the struggles for national liberation and socialist construction in each country.

He also recalled that during his official friendship visit to the DPRK in 1957, President Ho Chi Minh affirmed that although the two countries are far apart geographically, their hearts are close, and though separated by thousands of miles, they are bound together like dear brothers.
