In a solemn atmosphere, the leader and members of the Vietnamese delegation observed a minute of silence to commemorate the great leader, vowing to continue studying and following his moral example while further strengthening friendship relations between Vietnam and Thailand.

Writing in the memorial guestbook, the top leader expressed his emotion at visiting the Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Udon Thani, describing it as a place that preserves the deep affection of the Vietnamese community in Thailand for President Ho Chi Minh and their homeland.

He highly appreciated the efforts and dedication of the Vietnamese community in Thailand in preserving and maintaining the memorial site, as well as continuing to uphold Vietnamese language, cultural identity, and solidarity.

The Vietnamese leader also praised the overseas Vietnamese community for serving as an important bridge in promoting friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Thailand.

The Ho Chi Minh Memorial Site in Udon Thani preserves memories of the years when Ho Chi Minh lived and carried out revolutionary activities in Thailand between 1928 and 1929 under the alias Thau Chin.

The memorial complex was built on the original site where Ho Chi Minh once stayed and now covers an area of 11,200 square meters, including Ho Chi Minh’s house, a multi-purpose building, garden landscapes, and an expanded exhibition area.

Construction of the memorial began in 2003, with the Ho Chi Minh House inaugurated in 2006 and the multi-purpose building completed in 2011.

The site currently welcomes around 15,000 visitors annually, including many visitors from Vietnam, especially during celebrations marking Ho Chi Minh’s birthday.

Today, the memorial site is regarded not only as a well-known tourist destination in Thailand but also as a symbol of the Vietnamese community’s respect for the great president and the enduring friendship between Vietnam and Thailand.
