The plaque, written in both Vietnamese and Portuguese, states that President Ho Chi Minh (1890 - 1969) proclaimed Vietnam's independence on September 2, 1945, establishing the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. It also mentions UNESCO's resolution recognizing him as a national liberation hero and a great cultural figure of Vietnam, who significantly contributed to global struggles for freedom.
Speaking at the event, PM Chinh emphasized President Ho Chi Minh’s foundational role in the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. He noted that the late President's brief stay in Brazil has contributed to the current comprehensive partnership between the two nations.
He highlighted Ho Chi Minh's enduring legacy as a symbol of indomitable will and a friend to global peace and social progress. He underscored the plaque's significance as a historical landmark for future generations to learn about, preserving Ho Chi Minh's values and fostering Vietnam-Brazil relations. The PM expressed hopes for stronger ties between Rio de Janeiro and Vietnamese localities to enhance multifaceted cooperation and cultural exchanges.
General Secretary of the Communist Party of Brazil Pedro De Oliverira and Minister of Science, Technology and Innovation Luciana Santos stated that the plaque symbolizes the strong relationship and international solidarity between Vietnam and Brazil. The historical ties date back to 1912 when President Ho Chi Minh, while working on a French vessel, fell ill and stayed in Rio de Janeiro, forming ties with Brazil's Porto workers' trade movement.
