Vietnamese Ambassador to Venezuela Vu Trung My highlighted that beyond Vietnam, President Ho Chi Minh is a symbol of freedom, human dignity, and peace - the values that have gone beyond the national border and touched the hearts of millions around the world.
The Cuban President praised the late former leader's outstanding contributions to Vietnam's Doi Moi (renewal) process and to the special, trustworthy fraternal bonds between the people, Parties and governments of the two nations.
Former President Tran Duc Luong, who devoted his life to the Vietnamese revolution, is remembered as a steadfast and principled leader. A former Politburo member and head of state, he consistently upheld the ideals of the Party, serving with loyalty, resolve and humility. His legacy spans decades of diplomatic milestones, nation-building, and tireless service to the Party and the people.
