On the occasion of the 135th anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh's birthday, the Vietnamese Embassy in Greece organized a ceremony to introduce and launch the book "Biography of Ho Chi Minh" in Greek, translated from the English version, copyrighted by The Gioi Publishing House.
After more than 6 months of efforts with the support of the Steering Committee for External Information Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, especially the World Publishing House and the Greek side, Mr. Velissarios Kossivakis, a member of the Greek Communist Party and the New Star group, the book "Biography of Ho Chi Minh" in Greek has been officially launched.
Speaking at a press conference in Athens, Ambassador Pham Thi Thu Huong sincerely thanked Mr. Velissarios Kossivakis, the New Star group and translator Vasiliki Kappa for translating into Greek and publishing the book, as well as the good feelings that the Greek people in general have for President Ho Chi Minh and the country and people of Vietnam.
There have been a number of books about President Ho Chi Minh translated into Greek before, but the book "Biography of Ho Chi Minh" published this time is the most complete book in Greek introducing the biography and career of President Ho Chi Minh from his youth to the period of leaving to find a way to save the country; the period of preparation for the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam; leading the revolutionary movement; leading the general uprising of the entire people; leading the national resistance war and the cause of building socialism in the North, the struggle to liberate the South, and unifying the country.
This will be a valuable handbook, meeting the needs of more and more Greek readers who want to better understand the life, career and great ideology of President Ho Chi Minh, while helping to further enhance mutual understanding between the people of the two countries, fostering the traditional good friendship between Vietnam and Greece to develop more and more brilliantly.
For his part, speaking at the Press Conference, Mr. Velissarios Kossivakis said that having visited Vietnam many times, to him, Vietnam has a very special feeling, especially the respect and admiration for President Ho Chi Minh. As an experienced person, having translated and published many books by Cuban leaders into Greek, he has long wished to translate President Ho Chi Minh's books into Greek so that more Greeks can better understand the great leader of the Vietnamese people.
Also according to the Vietnamese Ambassador to Greece, the book "Biography of Ho Chi Minh", Mr. Velissarios Kossivakis and the New Star group are currently translating from English to Greek the book "Selected writings of President Ho Chi Minh from 1920 - 1969" provided by The Gioi Publishing House and are making efforts to complete it on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Vietnam's National Day.
