Viet Nam, Thailand work to build President Ho memorial site
Bangkok (VNA) - A delegation from the Ho Chi Minh Museum paid a visit to Thailand's northeastern province of Udon between Feb. 28 and Mar. 6. They oversaw work on a project to build a site in memory of late President Ho Chi Minh at Nongon Village where he had lived and worked before 1930.
The Ho Chi Minh Museum had agreed to help the Thai side with materials to reproduce objects President Ho used while he was there in the late 1920s. It had also committed to supplying some trees to plant in the site, which will become a 64,000 sq.m. historical research-tourism centre.
The two sides agreed to work hard towards the goal of opening the centre on the 60th anniversary of Viet Nam's National Day (Sept. 2).
The project is a follow-up to another of the same kind inaugurated last February by the two countries' Prime Ministers - the Thailand-Viet Nam Friendship Village, which accommodates a Uncle Ho Memorial House at May Village in the northern province of Nakhon Phanom./.
