- An international conference in Vietnam explored the enduring significance of Ho Chi Minh's
An international conference co-organized by the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Relic Site and the Ho Chi Minh Institute at the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, in collaboration with the Ho Chi Minh Institute at Saint Petersburg State University (Russia), delved into the lasting impact of Ho Chi Minh's revolutionary thought. The event, held in anticipation of the 115th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh's departure to seek a path for national salvation, emphasized the need to not only preserve but also optimize the dissemination of his ideology.
Preservation is not just about keeping things intact, but about optimizing forms of promotion so that the light of Ho Chi Minh's ideology continues to guide us.
Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism Hoang Dao Cuong highlighted that preserving historical and ideological legacies involves actively promoting them to continue guiding the nation. He noted that the conference's outcomes would contribute to future projects commemorating the 100th anniversary of Ho Chi Minh's seminal work, "Duong kach menh" (Revolutionary Path), next year. This approach signifies an innovative method of transforming theoretical research into practical applications, thereby enhancing the enduring value of Ho Chi Minh's thought in the modern era.
The results of the research summarized today will continue to be 'material' for subsequent products to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the work "Duong kach menh" next year.
Le Thi Phuong, director of the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Relic Site, stated that 115 years ago, the young patriot Nguyen Tat Thanh embarked on a journey to find a way for national salvation. This pivotal decision led him to Marxism-Leninism, illuminating the path for the Vietnamese revolution. The "Duong kach menh" (1927) marked a new phase in Nguyen Ai Quoc's theoretical understanding, creatively developing Marxist-Leninist principles and laying the ideological groundwork for the Communist Party of Vietnam's establishment in 1930. The conference also featured discussions by international scholars, including Vladimir Kolotov from Russia, who examined "Duong kach menh" as a theoretical blueprint and the origin of revolutionary strategic thinking.
The choice of this direction was historic, where he found the guiding light of Marxism-Leninism, leading the Vietnamese revolution through the darkest nights in the nation's history.
