Cambodia Prime Minister Hun Sen

Former President Lê Đức Anh said that Việt Nam respected Cambodia's decision. He told me that Việt Nam's mission was only preventing the comeback of the Pol Pot regime and that Việt Nam could not stay in Cambodia forever. He said that at some point, Cambodia would have to be able to protect itself.

To me this is important, because some countries said they would respect us and our decision, but when we didn't follow their requirements they would threaten to cut aid and assistance, but it was not the case for Việt Nam.

The passing of former President Le Duc Anh, who made great contributions to helping Cambodia get rid of the genocidal Pol Pot regime, has left deep grief in the hearts of many officers, generals and researchers of the country.
With the assistance of Việt Nam, especially that of General Anh, Cambodia established a combat unit in Việt Nam named Division 125 in Long Giao Commune, Cam My District, the southern province of Đồng Nai. 
With the support of Vietnamese volunteers and the clear-minded military command of General Anh, Cambodia overthrew the Pol Pot regime. 
Vietnamese volunteers' presence in Phnom Penh at the time of liberation (January 7, 1979) was of great importance and helped protect and strengthen Cambodia's new government, protect property and life for Cambodian people and restore and develop the country.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen and General Anh built a long-term relationship starting in 1977.
General Le Duc Anh was a talented general and Prime Minister Hun Sen will always remember his merits and those of Vietnamese volunteers.

Phạm Quang Vinh, Former Vietnamese Ambassador to the US

The former President’s visit to the US in 1995 was of significance to Việt Nam–US relations. This visit left an impression of a national leader who had a broad vision on the country’s interests and position, and who was decisive – not much into talking but really down-to-earth.

The former President had a meeting with Bobby Muller, who was the chairman of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, in which he talked about his views on post-war healing and relations normalisation. He also came to see how Americans live and work, which was a surprise to the US security officers.

In this historical visit, the matter of joint humanitarian efforts to overcome the legacies of war opened the path for the normalisation of relations between Việt Nam and the US. He told Senator John Kerry and Senator John McCain that Việt Nam was ready to show the US its transparency in seeking missing American soldiers, allowing the US to come and visit different sites in the country so that they could trust the willingness of Việt Nam to overcome differences and reach a normalisation agreement.

Vũ Mão, Former Chairman of the National Assembly's Office

Lê Đức Anh was the commander of the fourth Corps sent to Cambodia to support the neighbour in the fight against the Pol Pot regime. He was a thoughtful leader. He was also busy during the day so he could only work with us at night. He was this simple and modest person, but always worked hard and with enthusiasm.

What I can feel about him was that he was down-to-earth and close to his people. He was also the one who initiated the Vietnamese Heroic Mother title. He understood deeply the hardship and enormous sacrifices that mothers had to make during wartime for their country by sending their children to the war. He also met with the first Vietnamese mothers who were granted the title at the Presidential Palace.—VNS
