Nations honor the life and great career of President Ho Chi Minh

The United Nations Educational , Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has honored President Ho Chi Minh as one of the greatest men of humanity. The countries and peoples that honor his life and career are testament to his greatness. This was affirmed by Mr. Philip Fernandez, member of the Canada - Vietnam Friendship Association, in an interview with a VNA reporter in Ottawa on the occasion of the 133rd anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birth (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2023).

Mr. Fernandez emphasized that the Canada - Vietnam Friendship Association deeply respects President Ho Chi Minh, who led the Vietnamese people in the struggle for national liberation and wrote an indomitable page in the history of human struggle for a world without oppression, exploitation and war.

Assessing the way Vietnam applies President Ho Chi Minh's foreign policy in international relations in general and in relations with Canada in particular, Mr. Fernandez affirmed that Vietnam today is implementing the guidelines and policies that President Ho Chi Minh left in his Testament. According to him, President Ho Chi Minh's foreign policy is based on the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries, recognizing the independence, sovereignty and self-determination of nations and peoples. The flexible and adaptable foreign policy is based on the principle of world peace and social progress. The Canada - Vietnam Friendship Association member expressed his pleasure at seeing the relationship between Vietnam and Canada become stronger in recent years, and hoped that this trend would continue to be maintained and further developed.

Commenting on Vietnam after gaining national independence and applying the policies and advice of President Ho Chi Minh, Mr. Fernandez said that the achievements that Vietnam has achieved speak for themselves. Gaining national independence under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the Communist Party of Vietnam founded by him has helped the Vietnamese people to take control and build their own future. Vietnam is also playing an important role in protecting the independence and sovereignty of all countries in the United Nations (UN) as well as in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
