Talking to the Viet Nam News Agency ahead of the 55th death anniversary of the Vietnamese leader (September 2, 1969 - 2024) and 55 years of implementing his testament, Aznarez described Ho Chi Minh as an eminent soldier of the international communist and workers’ movement who connected the Vietnamese revolution with the world’s.
He noted realising that the Vietnamese revolution was part of and had close links with the proletarian revolution and the national liberation movement in colonised countries, the President advocated promoting international solidarity in the principle of equality of nations and mutually beneficial cooperation.
The Argentinian journalist hailed Ho Chi Minh’s devotion of his entire life to the struggle for independence and freedom for Vietnamese people.
Inheriting and building on the country’s traditional values while acquiring progressive thoughts on national independence and freedom in the world, the leader developed a system of viewpoints on national independence and freedom that reflects the inevitable law of Viet Nam’s revolution, Aznarez said, expressing his regret that Ho Chi Minh had passed away six years before his national reunification dream came true.
In his testament, Ho Chi Minh showed his iron belief in the people’s strength and great determination in winning the resistance war against the US and regaining independence and territorial integrity.
His desire expressed in the testament was fulfilled when the Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973 and later the General Offensive and Uprising in the 1975 Spring, whose peak was the victory of the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign, marking the successful conclusion of the resistance war against the US to liberate the South and reunify the country.
Aznarez held that amid extensive globalisation and international integration nowadays, Ho Chi Minh’s teachings about international solidarity remains relevant, scientific, and practical.
To the Vietnamese President as well as other contemporary revolutionary leaders, solidarity was always an extremely important issue, the journalist noted, adding that the Communist Party of Viet Nam has always strived to encourage fraternal parties to support the noble spirit of international solidarity.
He perceived that given increasing conflicts around the world, it is necessary to thoroughly study Ho Chi Minh’s ideology and consider this as the lodestar guiding the thought on national liberation.

| * 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. |
