Buenos Aires (VNA) – President Ho Chi Minh is one of the great examples in the struggle against colonialism and imperialism for independence and freedom of peoples around the world, Acting General Secretary of the Communist Party of Argentina (CPA) Jorge Kneyness told a Vietnam News Agency correspondent in Buenos Aires in an recent interview.
Throughout his revolutionary career, President Ho Chi Minh left a comprehensive legacy of ideology, morality and lifestyle in various aspects, especially the combination of theory and practice, which still retains its value until today, Kneyness stressed.
Kneyness, who is also head of CPA Central Committee's external relations department, said that the late leader built a strong communist party in Vietnam, adding that under his leadership, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV) led the people to fight French colonialists and US imperialists for independence, freedom and national reunification.
"We greatly admire and respect President Ho Chi Minh’s ideology in the cause of liberation of oppressed peoples in the third world, including military ideology," he said, elaborating that it is the result of the combination of theory and practice under certain historical conditions, and the creative absorption and application of the nation's military ideological legacy and the military quintessence of humanity.
The Vietnamese revolution is a national liberation revolution associated with an armed uprising and revolutionary war, he added.
Highly valuing President Ho Chi Minh's foreign policy ideology, the CPA leader said that his views on diplomatic work not only have great value in history, but are also a lodestar for the national defence, construction, development and international integration of the Vietnamese people.
The legacy left by President Ho Chi Minh has created a strong position and role in the international arena for Vietnam today, he continued.
Regarding the relationship between the Communist Party of Argentina and the Communist Party of Vietnam, Kneyness highly valued the solidarity, friendship and cooperation between the two parties. He said that the visit of a CPV delegation led by Nguyen Trong Nghia, a Politburo member and Secretary of the Party Central Committee and head of its Commission for Information and Education, is a testament, thereby contributing to fostering the good relationship between the two countries and two peoples./.
