With the title “Vietnam, a peaceful nation,” the Argentine website AcercandoNaciones published an article by journalist Jorge Tuero praising the significance of the August Revolution of the Vietnamese people.

Journalist Tuero is also the Director of AcercandoNaciones Magazine, which specializes in diplomatic topics. He emphasized that when talking about Vietnam, we are talking about a nation that has defeated many Northern feudal dynasties, French colonialism and the Foreign Legion, Japanese imperialism and American imperialism.

As a heroic nation that has gone through a long period of many wars, what journalist Tuero admires most is that the Vietnamese people always win to protect their sovereignty. For that reason, the Argentine journalist affirmed that Vietnam is a peaceful nation.

Journalist Tuero assessed that the August Revolution ended 80 years of French colonial rule, abolished the feudal regime and reaffirmed the independence of the Vietnamese people. This was a fatal blow to colonialism, opening the way for the national liberation movement around the world to gain national independence. This was a skillful combination of political struggle and armed struggle, complementing each other and being flexibly applied in each situation.

According to journalist Tuero, the August Revolution is a testament to the correct strategy and leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Viet Minh Front. Thanks to the wise and talented leadership, making necessary decisions at the right time, combined with careful political and military preparations to ensure national unity, on the basis of the worker-peasant alliance, it contributed to the victory of the Vietnamese people, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam on September 2, 1945.

The Argentine journalist wrote that today Vietnam is developing and growing on the path of national modernization as well as regional integration. Vietnam is one of the active members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), and the Vietnamese people with open hearts do not hold grudges against war.

The article also included pictures of President Ho Chi Minh reading the Declaration of Independence, pictures of General Vo Nguyen Giap and many pictures of the landscape and people of Vietnam today such as Ha Long Bay, Son Doong Cave and Tam Coc-Bich Dong.

At the end of the article, journalist Tuero recalled President Ho Chi Minh's words in the Declaration of Independence: "Vietnam has the right to enjoy freedom and independence, and in fact has become a free and independent country. The entire Vietnamese people are determined to devote all their spirit and strength, their lives and property to maintain that freedom and independence."

Meanwhile, on the website of the Argentine Center for Economic and Social Studies (CIEYS), Professor Oscar Natalich emphasized that since the French colonialists set foot on our country's territory, there have been continuous uprisings by the Vietnamese people against the invading army, such as the Can Vuong movement (1885-1889).

Mr. Natalich reviewed each stage of the resistance war against French colonialism with Nguyen Ai Quoc establishing the Vietnam Revolutionary Youth Association in 1925, gathering patriotic youth as the core to promote the movement to fight for national liberation.

On February 3, 1930, Nguyen Ai Quoc founded the Communist Party of Vietnam and proposed a political platform with the working class as the vanguard. The mission of the Communist Party of Vietnam was to lead the people to overthrow French colonialism, feudalism and the reactionary bourgeoisie. To build a government of the working class, to ensure human rights, civil rights such as freedom, gender equality, and universal education. Professor Natalich wrote that with that motto, the Communist Party of Vietnam successfully led the August Revolution and on September 2, 1945, at Ba Dinh Square, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence.

On the ArgenPress website of Argentina, journalist Oscar Amado also published the Vietnam Chronicle from 1954 to 1975. The author opened the article with the famous quote of President Ho Chi Minh: "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom."

In the article, author Amado reviewed the period of the Vietnamese people's struggle against American imperialism, starting from the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu in 1954, to the country being divided at the 17th parallel; the US began to aid the government of the Republic of Vietnam and directly participated in the war; the birth of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam in 1960; important milestones of the resistance war against America to the victory on April 30, 1975 of the nation, the country was unified; Saigon was renamed Ho Chi Minh City./.
