At the event, Dr. Khamla Keoounkham, vice director of the academy, said that the teaching and studying of the works has a practical meaning, creating favourable conditions for researchers, scholars and teachers as well as other people interested in President Ho Chi Minh's ideology to access the late Vietnamese leader’s works.

He highlighted the viewpoints in the Ho Chi Minh ideology, underlining they have guided Vietnam’s development towards socialism with Marxism-Leninism playing the role as revolutionary theory.

In his works, President Ho Chi Minh showed a pure diplomacy spirit with the famous words of “helping our friends is helping ourselves,” said Khamla.

He underscored that each work of President Ho Chi Minh carries a profound theoretical and practical value, providing valuable lessons not only for the Vietnamese people but also for all mankind, peace-loving people to study.

President Ho Chi Minh is a shining example of sacrifice for the people, for the common interests, for the country and the humanity, the official stated, emphasising that President Ho Chi Minh always paid great attention to the people's lives, that the leader considered as a decisive factor of the success of the revolutionary cause.

The Complete Works of Ho Chi Minh feature the journey of late President Ho Chi Minh to save the country and lead the Vietnamese revolution from victory to victory.

In 2011, Vietnam’s National Political Publishing House launched the third edition of the complete works, which includes 15 volumes containing 3,300 pieces of written works by the President.

It is an invaluable asset for the Vietnamese Party and people, reflecting vividly the process of national salvation and the writer’s profound and comprehensive viewpoints on the fundamental issues of Vietnam’s revolution.

Among the 800 new documents supplemented in the collection are writings and speeches with quite new points of view from the President, which have never been shown before in his writings.

In addition, it also systematically provides comprehensive and profound perspectives on the basic issues of the Vietnamese revolution needed to serve the country's Doi Moi (renewal) cause.
