The history of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the role of President Ho Chi Minh

That was the topic of the talk given by Associate Professor Le Mau Han to young staff members of the Youth Union of the Administrative Block of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities on February 2, 2010.

Along with sharing numerous in-depth research materials, Associate Professor Le Mau Han analyzed and affirmed the very important contributions of Nguyen Ai Quoc to the Vietnamese revolution through his extraordinary will, efforts, and outstanding activities. The talk particularly emphasized Nguyen Ai Quoc's role as the person who found the correct path to national salvation for the Vietnamese people – following Marxism-Leninism; the person who played a crucial role in preparing the ideological, theoretical, and organizational foundations for the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam; the founder of the Communist Party of Vietnam; and the drafter of the Party's first revolutionary program.

Associate Professor Le Mau Han believes that Ho Chi Minh's ideas are comprehensive, profound, and have the stature of a doctrine—a doctrine of revolution, of national liberation, and of the pursuit of independence, freedom, and happiness for the Vietnamese people. Many of President Ho Chi Minh's actions and observations remain profound lessons that national leaders can learn from to this day.

This presentation was a typical activity of the Youth Union of the Administrative Block on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
