Buenos Aires (VNA) – The legacy of President Ho Chi Minh remains ever-present, particularly in Argentina, affirmed Marcelo Rodríguez, head of the Commission for Foreign Affairs of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Argentina (CPA), during an interview with a Vietnam News Agency (VNA) correspondent in Buenos Aires on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of the late Vietnamese leader’s birth (May 19, 1890-2025).
The official stressed that Ho Chi Minh, an outstanding leader of the Vietnamese people and the Communist Party of Vietnam in the struggle against colonialism and for national independence, has become a shining example for all nations.
According to Rodríguez, the great man is held in deep admiration in Argentina. For years, his works and writings on Party-building, the international communist movement, and Marxism–Leninism have been actively studied by the CPA. His ideology on national liberation holds significant relevance for developing countries and the Global South.
He noted that the CPA has been making efforts to preserve and uphold the teachings and legacy of President Ho Chi Minh – a source of inspiration for revolutionary movements that persist across continents today.
Rodríguez, who also serves as Director of the CPA’s Héctor P. Agosti Marxist Studies and Training Centre (CEFMA), revealed that the institution is currently conducting studies on Vietnam’s recent socio-economic achievements as well as activities promoting bilateral cooperation.
Recently, CEFMA published a special journal compiling papers from its seminar on President Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam–Latin America relations, which was held in Buenos Aires in August last year./.
