It said that during his journey to seek a path for national salvation, Ho Chi Minh accessed Marxism-Leninism and creatively applied it to Indochina by establishing the Indochinese Communist Party, a revolutionary party of the working class and working people and also the forerunner of the CPV and the LPRP. He directly led the struggles for national liberation and independence of the peoples in the three Indochinese countries until they achieved glorious victory.
Fulfilling President Ho Chi Minh's last wish and advice that "nothing is more precious than independence and freedom," the Vietnamese people waged a struggle and completely won independence in the resounding Ho Chi Minh Campaign on April 30, 1975, and continued the building and development of a prosperous country as it is today.
The great and comprehensive victories and achievements of the Vietnamese revolution came as results of the direct guidance and leadership of President Ho Chi Minh. The Vietnamese revolutionary cause over the past decades has testified to the CPV's clear-sighted and right leadership, as well as President Ho Chi Minh's visionariness on Party building, State governance, and domestic and international solidarity and unity, which remains relevant to the Vietnamese revolution nowadays, the LPRP Central Committee noted.
President Ho Chi Minh's thought, revolutionary ethics, and working style became a shining and precious example, and a priceless asset for not only the Vietnamese people but also the peoples who love peace and strive for national independence and social progress, the message mentioned.
Implementing President Ho Chi Minh's teachings and instructions that "helping friends means helping ourselves," the Party, State, and people of Vietnam have provided valuable, great, and timely support for the Lao people in their struggle for national liberation in the past as well as national construction and development today.
The message read that the great President Ho Chi Minh, together with President Kaysone Phomvihane and President Souphanouvong, laid the foundation for and built the Laos - Vietnam solidarity into an everlasting great solidarity of the two peoples in the victory over foreign invaders. That solidarity became a rare pure and loyal relationship in international relations, a priceless heritage of both nations, the law of existence and development of the two countries, and a decisive factor in the victory of each country's revolution.
President Ho Chi Minh lives forever in the revolutionary cause and the great friendship, special solidarity and comprehensive cooperation between Laos and Vietnam, the message concluded.
