At the ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador to Thailand Pham Viet Hung emphasized that the anniversary demonstrates the good feelings of the local administration and people towards President Ho Chi Minh and the people of Vietnam. This is also an opportunity for Vietnamese far away from the home to remember their homeland, President Ho Chi Minh and the heroic history of the nation, he added.

“Following the example of President Ho Chi Minh and the precious traditions of the nation, I hope that overseas Vietnamese in Thailand in general and Nakhon Phanom province in particular will work together to promote the tradition of solidarity, care, and support for each other in life. We will actively contribute to building the local society, strengthening diplomatic relations between the two countries and especially always remember and look towards our homeland and roots,” said the ambassador.
