The government leader expressed deep appreciation for the affection shown by the Brazilian people and government toward President Ho Chi Minh and Vietnam.
"On the basis of strong ties between Vietnam and Brazil, the two countries' present and future generations will keep upholding values and legacy left by President Ho Chi Minh and previous generations," said Chinh.
In 1912, during his journey in search of a path to national salvation, President Ho Chi Minh established close ties with the workers’ movement of the Porto trade union in Rio de Janeiro city, laying the foundation for friendship and cooperation between the two nations at the beginning of the 20th century.
