In his remarks at the ceremony, Sim Chy recalled the late leader’s tireless journey in search of a path to national salvation, as well as his immense contributions of identifying the correct revolutionary path and leading the Vietnamese people to independence and freedom.

Sim Chy affirmed that President Ho Chi Minh’s life serves as a shining example of revolutionary ethics, always placing the interests of the nation and the people above all else. His teachings continue to serve as a guiding compass for the actions of every Vietnamese person today, he noted.

Sim Chy said the Vietnamese community in Cambodia remains active in learning, working, and step by step integrating into the host nation. They act as a solid bridge for fostering the friendship between the two peoples.
