Israel in Vietnam? New ambassador presents credentials to Peres
By GREER FAY CASHMAN

It seems that Uganda was not the only alternative proposal for the creation of a Jewish State. President Shimon Peres on Wednesday disclosed to Din Xuan Luu, the first resident ambassador of Vietnam in Israel, that David Ben Gurion, Israel's founding prime minister had been on very friendly terms with Ho Chi Minh, the President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, who in 1946 offered him the use of Vietnam for the establishment of the State of Israel in exile.

For that reason said Peres, Israel has always had a high regard and great respect for Vietnam.

Peres continued that without taking sides with regard to the Vietnam War he felt the need to pay tribute to the courage of the Vietnamese who were then fighting against the most technologically- advanced army in the world. This was something that Israel, which like Vietnam has paid a heavy price in war, could appreciate, said Peres, who recalled that when General Moshe Dayan had gone to Vietnam during the war, he had come away greatly impressed by the courage of the Vietnamese people.

Although Vietnam officially entered into diplomatic relations with Israel in 1993, the historic relationship goes back much further, said Din, who emphasized how honored he was to be his country's first resident ambassador in Israel.

David Ben Gurion (1886-1973, 87 years old)

1st Prime Minister of Israel


He-David_Ben_Gurion.ogg David Ben-Gurion (help·info) (Hebrew: דָּוִד בֶּן-גּוּרִיּוֹן‎, born David Grün on 16 October 1886, died 1 December 1973) was the first Prime Minister of Israel. Ben-Gurion's passion for Zionism, which began early in life, culminated in his instrumental role in the founding of the state of Israel. After leading Israel to victory in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Ben-Gurion helped build the state institutions and oversaw the absorption of vast numbers of Jews from all over the world. Upon retiring from political life in 1970, he moved to Sde Boker, a kibbutz where he lived until his death. Posthumously, Ben-Gurion was named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century.

Founding of Israel

On 14 May, 1948, on the last day the British Mandate, Ben-Gurion declared the independence of the state of Israel. In the Israeli declaration of independence, he stated that the new nation would "uphold the full social and political equality of all its citizens, without distinction of race, creed or gender."
