The Government leader said that 2009 marks the Vietnamese Party and people’s 40 years of implementing Uncle Ho’s testament.

He thanked the former Soviet Union and now Russia for their assistance to Vietnam in preserving the late President’s body and building his mausoleum, and especially for promptly sending medical scientists and experts to Vietnam to participate in this work.

PM Dung expressed his wish that the Russian State and scientists would continue to support Vietnam in science and technology research and official training.
