The featured presentations also studied President Ho Chi Minh's ideological contributions to the issue of international conflict resolution and his philosophy of peace in the current world context.

Professor Hoang Tranh, former Vice President of the Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences, commented: "During the time of President Ho Chi Minh's revolutionary activities in China, the achievements in aspects such as theory, journalism, and literature have enriched the treasure trove of President Ho Chi Minh's thoughts, and established his historical position as a "cultural celebrity". He emphasized that President Ho Chi Minh was a great revolutionary of the proletariat and at the same time a cultural celebrity. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in its 1987 Conference resolution honored President Ho Chi Minh as "Hero of National Liberation and Outstanding Cultural Celebrity".
