Hanoi,
May 21 (PL).- The unveiling of a monument to honor Vietnam's liberation
hero, Ho Chi Minh, at a Havana park made headlines in the Vietnamese press
on Wednesday.
In
addition to national radio and TV news reports, local newspapers reported
on the ceremony in the Cuban capital, and printed color pictures of the
moment when Ho Chi Minh's bust was unveiled in the Havana neighborhood of
Nuevo Vedado.
The
media in Hanoi and former Saigon highlighted the presence of several Cuban
leaders in the event, as well as a delegation of the Association of
Friendship with Cuba in southern Ho Chi Minh City.
"First
monument to honor Ho Chi Minh in Cuba," the "Ha Noi Moi"
daily entitled a three-column article with a picture capturing the moment
when Esteban Lazo, member of the Political Bureau and Havana's Communist
Party First Secretary, and Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Tien Tu unveiled the
monument.
The

forms part of the activities held in Cuba to commemorate the 113th
anniversary of Ho Chi Minh's birth and the 108th anniversary of Cuban
independence leader Jose Marti's death in combat in Dos Rios.
