Belgian scholars hail President Ho Chi Minh’s contributions
VOV.VN - An exhibition on President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary career has taken place in Brussels, Belgium, giving peace lovers great insights into the life of the late leader, who has been recognized by UNESCO as a Hero of National Liberation and a Great Man of Culture of Vietnam.
Bert De Belder, head of the Department of International Relations of the Workers' Party of Belgium (PTB), emphasized that Vietnamese people underwent a struggle of great hardship for the cause of national independence against very strong enemies, which was ultimately won thanks to Ho Chi Minh’s talent and leadership.
He stated that the late president was a great source of inspiration and played an important role in connecting the struggle of the Vietnamese people with that of other peoples in the third world, as well as those in other countries worldwide.
Ho Chi Minh is a genuine internationalist who made the nation’s cause of liberation and the happiness of peoples around the world the focus of his efforts, with international solidarity being an important value, he said.
He was a talented leader who still lived as a very modest person, leading a simple life, noted De Belder.
Meanwhile, Barbara Plinkert, head of the Division for Southeast Asia and ASEAN at the European External Action Service (EEAS), stressed her impression of President Ho Chi Minh’s enthusiastic revolutionary activities and admiration for the way in which he inspired and united people from other countries together towards the goal of Vietnamese independence.
