The event is part of the project to popularise and honour President Ho Chi Minh - a national liberation hero and a great man of culture – among the international community.

Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Ambassador to Japan Pham Quang Hieu said the talk aims to provide officials from the Vietnamese Embassy, representative offices and Vietnamese community in Japan a deeper insight into the life and revolutionary career of President Ho Chi Minh, thus encouraging them to continue to study and follow the leader’s moral example.

Prof. Hoang Chi Bao, a senior expert and former member of the Central Theory Council, who has spent his whole life to research Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, told stories about the leader’s life and his journey to seek the way to liberate the nation from colonial yoke.

The stories reflected the leader’s revolutionary spirit, simple lifestyle and his whole-hearted love and devotion for the nation, as well as his sacrifice for the struggle for national liberation and peace, development and progress of Vietnam and the world.

The event helped inspire national pride among the Vietnamese community, especially youngsters, encouraging them to make contributions to the development of the homeland.

At the event, Prof. Bao also introduced publications on President Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, morality and lifestyle, including the leader’s testament./.
