He told the Vietnam News Agency on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of August Revolution (August 19) and National Day (September 2) that the August Revolution, which culminated in the founding of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945 (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam), provided both inspiration and momentum for independence movements worldwide.
Vietnam made significant contributions to human history in the struggle for national independence.
Great national unity, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), was the decisive factor behind victories on every front, from liberation, independence and reunification to today’s nation building and development, he added.
Vietnam has transformed itself from a feudal, colonised, impoverished, and underdeveloped country into a resilient economy with remarkable progress, standing among the fastest-growing economies in the world. These achievements, González said, reflect the CPV’s adaptability and leadership capacity, which since the 1980s has steered the country through shifting global contexts to sustain economic progress. As a result, Vietnam’s role and standing are increasingly recognised on the world stage.
He believed the lessons learned from Vietnam’s 80 years of national building, safeguarding, and development have been highly valued at economic, political, and intellectual forums worldwide. Vietnam’s voice on the international stage is increasingly respected, thanks to the profound significance of its revolution for those who uphold justice across the globe.
