She recalled her father's visit to Vietnam in 1969, including his historic meeting with President Ho Chi Minh. She recounted the deep impressions and special sentiments he held for the indomitable spirit of the Vietnamese people. At that time, as then President of the Senate, Salvador Allende delivered many impactful speeches at the Chilean Senate about the Vietnamese people's struggle for national independence. Later, upon his election as President, Salvador decided to establish diplomatic relations with Vietnam.
Isabel expressed her admiration for Vietnam's socio-economic achievements and comprehensive development in recent years.
Cuong expressed his heartfelt appreciation and was deeply moved by the warmth and admiration that the Chilean people have for late President Ho Chi Minh, affirming that despite the geographical distance between the two countries, they have always remained close and supportive of each other in all circumstances.
He said that for generations of Vietnamese people during the struggle for national independence, the mention of Chile evokes memories of solidarity marches held across many Latin American countries, including Chile, to express support for Vietnam’s just cause.
For the Vietnamese people, Salvador is remembered as a symbol of the international movement supporting Vietnam during its resistance war against the American imperialism, Cuong stressed, adding that that special visit by the late Chilean President to Vietnam showed solidarity and immense moral support to the people of Vietnam in their struggle for national liberation, becoming a symbol of friendship between the two nations.
Salvador played a decisive role in establishing diplomatic relations with Vietnam, making Chile the first nation in South America and the second in Latin America and the Caribbean to set up relations with Vietnam, Cuong noted.
Cuong stated that through his visit, the two sides will identify key strategic breakthrough areas of cooperation to further strengthen the connection between the two economies, thus making tangible contributions to the development efforts of Vietnam and Chile.
He hoped that Isabel, in her position in the Senate and the Socialist Party of Chile, will continue her contributions to strengthening the special friendship between the peoples of the two countries, and help advance the comprehensive development of Vietnam – Chile relations.
