United States to lift embargoes and sanctions against Cuba and to remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Mr. President, President Ho Chi Minh, a Vietnamese hero of national liberation and eminent man of culture, once stressed “Unity, unity, great unity – Success, success, grand success”. On

Mr. President, Seventy-five years ago, on 2 September 1945, President Ho Chi Minh delivered the Declaration of Independence that proclaimed the birth of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam (now the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam).

the reason why, immediately after the establishment of the Vietnamese State on 2 September 1945, the beloved late President of the Vietnamese people, Ho Chi Minh, submitted a request for membership of the United Nations in January 1946. I ask now what we want the United Nations to be. In answering that questio

r nearly a century of colonialism, Viet Nam associated itself with the principles and values of the Charter of the United Nations. Our late President Ho Chi Minh, the founder of modern Viet Nam, wrote on several occasions to world leaders to request recognition of the new Viet Nam and its admission to the Unit

of the Sea, the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, other regional agreements, and efforts to elaborate a code of conduct. Ho Chi Minh used the words of Thomas Jefferson in Viet Nam’s Declaration of Independence: “All men are created equal. They are endowed by their Creator with cert

It is time for the leaders of those countries and circles to agree to face the facts and respect, first and foremost, the agreement signed in Ho Chi Minh City in July 1987 by the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Indonesia, representing the ASEAN countries, and his Vietnamese counterpart, representing th

The decision and proposals of the Conference of Foreign Ministers of the three Indo-Chinese countries held in Ho Chi Minh City on 6 and 7 July 1982 constitutes a concrete and realistic programme for the normalization of the situation in that region of South-east Asia. Th

iatives taken by Viet Nam, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and the People’s Republic of Kampuchea in July of this year at the conference held in Ho Chi Minh City are constructive and directed to that end. Those proposals and steps demonstrating good will are conducive to the creation of a spirit of mutual

Our delegation wishes to take this opportunity to pay a particular tribute to the great people of the immortal Ho Chi Minh, which, after having defeated, one by one, all the imperialist armies, has just proclaimed to the world the birth of its reunified nation, the Social
