Baku (VNA) – Vietnamese Party General Secretary To Lam and his spouse Ngo Phuong Ly on May 8 attended the inauguration ceremony of a remembrance room featuring the bond between late President Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnam – Azerbaijan oil and gas industry at the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University in Baku.

Speaking at the event, General Secretary Lam, who is paying a state visit to Azerbaijan, affirmed the strong traditional friendship between the two countries, which was established during the historic visit to Azerbaijan by President Ho Chi Minh in 1959 and has been nurtured by generations of leaders and peoples of both countries, including late President Heydar Aliyev.

He emphasised President Ho Chi Minh’s early recognition of the crucial role of the oil and gas industry in national construction and safeguarding, as well as his deep concern in how to exploit this valuable resource to serve the country's development.

General Secretar Lam thanked fraternal countries, including Azerbaijan, which is strong at oil and gas research and exploitation, for their assistance for Vietnam, including in training many leaders and high-quality manpower for Vietnam's oil and gas industry.

The General Secretary affirmed that the inauguration of the commemorative room, coinciding with the 135th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890–2025) – a genius leader of the Communist Party of Vietnam, a hero of national liberation, and an outstanding cultural figure of Vietnam, is a testament to the determination of the peoples of both Vietnam and Azerbaijan in realising his vision of building a strong and sustainable oil and gas industry in Vietnam, while also deepening bilateral cooperation in this sector.

This move also demonstrates the affection of people around the world in general, and those of Azerbaijan in particular, for President Ho Chi Minh, especially at a time when the two countries have freshly established a Strategic Partnership, said Lam.

The Party chief proposed leaders of the Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University continue to focus on training high-quality students and researchers for Vietnam in the fields of oil, gas, and energy, in line with the level of the newly established partnership between the two countries./.
