Prime Minister Pham Van Dong has stressed, in his talk with me... the parallel between the ancient struggles... of the Vietnamese people against the Chinese, the Manchus and the Mongols... and their contemporary struggles for independence... which began, of course, under the French many years ago... were continued without interruption through World War II... then resumed again against the French... and are now being carried on against the Americans.
O Primeiro Ministro Pham Van Dong enfatizou, na súa conversa comigo, o paralelismo entra as antigas loitas do pobo vietnamita contra os chineses, manchús e mongois e os seus combates contemporáneos pola independencia que comezaron, claro, hai uns anos baixo dominio francés que continuaron ininterrompidamente durante a S.G.M. volvendo despois contra o dominio francés.
