Sharing with Venezuelan television viewers, Ambassador Vu Trung My stated that the Declaration of Independence on September 2, 1945 is a legal document that lays the foundation for affirming the establishment of a rule-of-law state in Vietnam, inspiring creativity and illuminating the path of the Vietnamese Revolution in the cause of building a state of the people, by the people and for the people. Moreover, the Declaration of Independence also contributed to the cause of human liberation, opening the era of independence and freedom for colonial and oppressed peoples around the world.
