The ceremony to unveil the book was held in the presence of Bangladeshi politicians, researchers, translators, writers, entrepreneurs, journalists and students.

The biography of President Ho Chi Minh in Bengali.

The biography, a joint effort by the Vietnamese Embassy and the Nawab Salimullah Institute, came following the translation and publication of a book entitled “Uncle Ho’s Testament” by Vu Ky in Bengali in 2017.

It is expected to help Bengali readers gain a better understanding of the life, career and ideology of President Ho Chi Minh.

Speaking at the book launch, Ambassador Tran Van Khoa said that projects to translate books about President Ho Chi Minh into Bengali have helped enhance the friendly relationship between the two countries.

On the occasion, the Vietnamese diplomat handed a certificate of merit from Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh to Muhammad Abdul Jabbar, Director of Nawab Salimullah Institute, for his contributions to strengthening the solidarity and friendship between Vietnam and Bangladesh.

At the event, journalist Abdul Mozid, translator of the biography, stated that providing an opportunity for more Bangladeshi people to understand more about the Vietnamese leader motivated him to translate the book.

He added that he himself admires President Ho Chi Minh’s simple life greatly and that he has learnt a lot from his journalistic style through the book.
