A series of activities have been held in many
countries throughout the world to mark the 122nd birth anniversary of President
Ho Chi Minh.
Thailand’s
northeastern province of Nakhon Phanom on May 19 held a solemn ceremony to mark
Uncle Ho’s birthday and the establishment of the Vietnam-Thailand friendship.
The
event took place in Nachok village, where President Ho Chi Minh had lived and
worked in the 1928-1029 period. The village was then renamed the
Thailand-Vietnam Friendship Village, becoming a historical and cultural tourist
site which helps strengthen the friendship between the two nations.
On the
occasion, the Nakhon Phanom province presented 30 scholarships worth US$1,000
to poor Vietnamese students living here.
The
same day, in Beijing, the Vietnamese Embassy in China and China Radio
International jointly organised an exchange for Vietnamese and Chinese students
and kicked off the Vietnam-China Friendship Singing Contest 2012.
The
event aimed to help the two countries’ students to better their understanding
about the life and revolutionary career of President Ho Chi Minh as well as the
traditional friendship between Vietnam and China.
Vietnamese
Ambassador to China Nguyen Van Tho said the traditional friendship between
Vietnam and China, built by President Ho Chi Minh and President Mao Zedong, is
an invaluable asset of the two nations.
Vice
President of the China-Vietnam Friendship Association Qi Jianguo stressed that
promoting the China-Vietnam friendship is not only a historic mission of the
two countries’ people but also an important task of young generations to make
the relationship last forever.
On May
18, the Association of Vietnamese People in Ulianovsk city of Russia offered
flowers at the Statue of President Ho Chi Minh on the occasion of his 122nd
birthday.
