President Luong Cuong and his wife visit the Gamal Abdel Nasser museum

According to the special correspondent of VNA, on the afternoon of August 5, within the framework of activities during the State visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt, President Luong Cuong and his wife, along with a high-ranking Vietnamese delegation, visited the Gamal Abdel Nasser Museum.

This is a special cultural and historical work of Egypt, dedicated to commemorating and honoring the life and career of the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser - one of the most influential political figures in the Arab world in the 20th century.

The museum offers an in-depth look at the life of the late President Gamal Abdel Nasser – from his early years, his revolutionary involvement, to his regional and global political decisions. He was also a great inspiration to the national liberation movements in many Third World countries.

The museum's exhibition area also preserves a portrait of President Ho Chi Minh that he gave to President Gamal Abdel Nasser in the early 1960s when the two countries began diplomatic relations and was later carefully kept by the Egyptian leader in his family's collection.

The President expressed his impression of President Gamal Abdel Nasser's great contributions to the history of Egypt, as well as the special feelings he had for President Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnamese people.

The President's guestbook stated: "I was very moved when I saw the portrait of President Ho Chi Minh - National Liberation Hero, World Cultural Celebrity, signed by him and presented to President Gamal Abdel Nasser, a profound testament to the affection between the two leaders; the solidarity and friendship between the people of Vietnam and Egypt. I believe that the values and thoughts of President Gamal Abdel Nasser will continue to be a guiding light for future generations, strengthening the friendly relationship and mutual understanding between countries, including Vietnam."

Combining personal living space and political documents, the Gamal Abdel Nasser Museum not only faithfully recreates an important historical period but also inspires the ideals of patriotism, national independence and social justice that Gamal Abdel Nasser pursued. This is not only a place to preserve valuable artifacts, but also an educational space, helping the younger generation better understand the modern political history of Egypt.
