For his part, Cerro Navia Governor Mauro Tamayo expressed respect and admiration of Chileans to President Ho Chi Minh, as well as their affection for Vietnam. He stressed that Cerro Navia people appreciate the Vietnamese side’s attention to and support for the park’s renovation.
In 1969, to show solidarity and support for the Vietnamese people's resistance war for national independence and respect for President Ho Chi Minh, a small park in Cerro Navia District was renamed Park Ho Chi Minh. Since then, the park has become a symbol of the traditional friendship between the two countries.
Also on August 31, the Consulate General of Vietnam in Russia’s Vladivostok city laid flowers at the monument of President Ho Chi Minh in the Ho Chi Minh flower garden in the city.
On the same day, the Consulate General organised a ceremony to mark Vietnam’s National Day.
On September 2, 1945 at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence, declaring to the world the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
President Ho Chi Minh was a great leader, a national hero who devoted all his life to the national independence and freedom and happiness of the people while tirelessly striving for peace and progress in the world.
His aspiration for independence, freedom and happiness has become a great motivation and strength for the Vietnamese people to overcome all difficulties and challenges./.
