On the morning of September 27 (local time), on the occasion of his State visit to the Republic of Cuba, General Secretary and President To Lam and his wife, along with a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, visited and laid wreaths at the Ho Chi Minh Monument in the park named after him in the capital city of Havana, Cuba.

Also attending the flower offering ceremony were Head of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba Emilio Lozada Garcia and members of the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation.

Paying tribute to the great President Ho Chi Minh, General Secretary and President To Lam expressed his emotion and pride in visiting the President Ho Chi Minh Monument - a symbol of friendship and solidarity between Vietnam and Cuba in the heart of the capital Havana.

Located on one of the largest streets in the capital city of Havana, the statue of President Ho Chi Minh is located on a red marble base, 54 square meters wide, symbolizing the 54 ethnic groups of Vietnam. In the middle of the marble base is a five-pointed star made of yellow flowers - the image of the Vietnamese national flag. The stone pedestal is made of white marble without any decoration or pattern, reminiscent of the image of Uncle Ho "a life of purity, without gold or silver."

The upper protective frame, consisting of four red painted iron bars standing out against the green trees of the park, connects to form a pyramid symbolizing the Vietnamese conical hat. Of the four iron bars, three represent the three predecessor organizations of the Communist Party of Vietnam, including the Indochinese Communist Party, the Annamese Communist Party and the Indochinese Communist Federation; the remaining bar represents the Communist International.

The convergence point right at the top of the monument is the honor of President Ho Chi Minh in uniting revolutionary forces to work towards the common goal of national liberation.

According to architect Joel Diaz, the author of the project, the thick bamboo grove behind the monument is to create a landscape similar to Vietnam; the towering ancient trees behind are arranged to remind us of the mountains and forests of the Viet Bac and Dien Bien Phu resistance zones, where Uncle Ho lived and led the Vietnamese revolution.

Writing in the guestbook here, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that this is a noble symbol of the traditional solidarity, special friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two Parties, States and Peoples of Vietnam and Cuba, which has been cultivated by revolutionary leaders Jose Marti, President Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro and generations of Vietnamese and Cuban leaders over the past six decades.

The General Secretary and President wrote: “President Ho Chi Minh once affirmed that ‘Vietnam and Cuba are thousands of miles apart, but the hearts of the two peoples are as close as brothers in the same family’. The Party, State and people of Vietnam and Cuba will always unite, accompany, support and help each other to bring the relationship between the two countries to a new stage, developing substantially and sustainably for the cause of building socialism and the interests of the two peoples”./.
