According to the special correspondent of the Vietnam News Agency, during the official visit to Algeria, on the morning of November 20 local time, in the capital Algiers, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his wife visited Ho Chi Minh Avenue and attended the inauguration ceremony of the memorial stele about the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh.
Ho Chi Minh Avenue is 3km long, located on the most beautiful East-West axis in the capital Algiers, on the Mediterranean coast.
The starting point of the avenue is where in November 1954, after Vietnam's Dien Bien Phu victory, Algerian revolutionary soldiers fired the first shot, launching an eight-year armed uprising to gain national independence for the Algerian people.
The avenue is a place that shows the solidarity between the Algerian people, President Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese people. It is a familiar destination for many Vietnamese people living in Algeria and Vietnamese delegations whenever they come to Algeria.
At the campus on Ho Chi Minh Boulevard, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his wife attended the inauguration ceremony and laid flowers, expressing their respect and infinite gratitude to President Ho Chi Minh before the memorial stele about the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh.
The memorial stele records the life and career of President Ho Chi Minh in Arabic and Vietnamese. It states: President Ho Chi Minh, the great leader of the Vietnamese revolution, read the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) passed a resolution honoring him as a Hero of National Liberation of Vietnam and an outstanding figure who devoted his whole life to the cause of national liberation of the Vietnamese people, contributing to the common struggle of peoples in the world for peace, independence, nation, democracy and social progress.
During his lifetime, President Ho Chi Minh paid special attention to and actively supported the national liberation struggle of the Algerian people.
He, together with Algerian and international revolutionaries, founded the newspaper Le Paria (The Miserable) in 1922; arrived in Biskra city in 1946 and was one of the first international leaders to recognize the Algerian Provisional Government in 1958, laying an important foundation for developing the traditional relationship and good friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Algeria.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the Vietnam-Algeria relationship has a very good past and a bright future, especially during the Prime Minister's visit to Algeria this time, the two sides agreed to upgrade the relationship to a Strategic Partnership, an important milestone in the friendly and brotherly relations between Vietnam and Algeria.
The Prime Minister emphasized the two countries' glorious past in solidarity, unity, support and mutual assistance in the struggle to gain and protect independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in each country.
In the present as well as in the future, the two countries will continue to unite, support and help each other for a bright future, each person will be increasingly prosperous and happy, each country will become strong, wealthy, civilized and prosperous.
The Prime Minister asked generations of people from both countries to continue to inspire and motivate future generations to strengthen the relationship between the two countries; at the same time, he sincerely thanked the State, Government and people of Algeria, especially the people of the capital Algiers and especially the people on Ho Chi Minh Avenue, for their special affection for President Ho Chi Minh and for the country and people of Vietnam.
Believing that the friendship, cooperation, solidarity and unity between the two countries and peoples will forever be green and sustainable, the Prime Minister hopes that Algerian and Vietnamese friends will take care of the President Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site to keep it bright, green, clean and beautiful, so that this place will always be a red address and destination for the people of Vietnam, Algeria as well as friends from all over the world who love President Ho Chi Minh./.
