Pham Van Dong is an
architect
of
Vietnam
's
communist revolution

prime minister
through three decades of
war
and
reunification
.
Dong was among a few
revolutionaries
who wrested Vietnam from the
French
, then defeated the
U.S
. backed
South Vietnam
ese to bring the entire country under
Hanoi
's rule on April 30,
1975
.
Official ceremonies to mark the
anniversary
were held Sunday in
Ho Chi Minh City
, the former
Saigon
.
While
Ho Chi Minh
was the visionary and father figure, and Gen.
Vo Nguyen Giap
was the
battlefield
hero
, Dong was the
diplomat
and government organizer. He became prime minister of North Vietnam soon after independence in
1954
and headed reunified Vietnam in
1976

1987
.
In
retirement
, he was given the title of government adviser and used occasional

to meet with visiting
Cambodian King
Norodom Sihanouk
.
During the long war with the South, Dong was the North's main spokesman to the
world
. While Ho and party chief Le Duan remained in the background, Dong met with the few
foreign
journalist]s and
American anti-war activist
s who came to Hanoi, and stressed his government's determination to keep fighting despite punishing U.S.
airstrike
