On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the "Liberation of Saigon," when communist troops from the North entered the presidential palace of South Vietnam in 1975 and ended the war, the President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, expressed his admiration for the people of Vietnam, for being a beacon of inspiration for countries around the world.
In this context, the President described Vietnam's victory as a catastrophic defeat for the American empire, as their courage demonstrated that "when a people want to be free, they achieve it, and Vietnam defeated the greatest military machine on planet Earth."
He also said that Ho Chi Minh's heroic war was an example of the struggles against colonialism and imperialism and against all forms of foreign domination.
In a document issued this Wednesday by the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry, it was recalled that this historic date marked the end of the war and the definitive victory over colonialism and imperialism, which allowed for national reunification under the luminous legacy of Comrade Ho Chi Minh.
In context, on April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese military personnel entered the South Vietnamese presidential palace, ending two decades of conflict.
Long live Vietnam, long live Ho Chi Minh!, exalted the leader of the Nation.
